    Abstract: A reader-enhancing device is proposed which enables an in situ upgrade of readers having limited processing capabilities. The reader-enhancing device includes an emulation module that is capable of generating an output which emulates a first type of credential when the reader-enhancing device receives an input that is not in a format used by the first type of credential. The output generated by the emulation module enables the reader to respond to the input even though the input is not in a format natively supported by the reader.
