Abstract

The rise in data processing activities vis-à-vis the consequent rise in adoption and adaptation of information and communication tech related approaches to resolve societal challenges has become both critical and imperative. Virtualization have become the order of the day to bridge various lapses of human mundane tasks and endeavors. Its positive impacts on society cannot be underestimated. This study advances a virtual wireless sensor-based key-card access system with cost-effective solution to manage access to restricted areas within a facility. We seek to integrate virtual key card access, web-access control, solenoid lock integration, and ESP32- controller to create a dependable internet of things (IoT)-enabled access control system. Results show system benefit includes improved security, improved convenience, privacy, efficiency with real-time control capabilities that will allows building administrators to track and manage access to the facility remotely.

Abstract

The increased adoption of automated devices and its utilization to advance data processing in many facets of societal tasks and demand operations has continued to birth accompanying security challenges. Physical infrastructures today integrates within them automated units to upscale traditional issues. The recent proliferation of automated door access with innovative embedded units employs a centralized design with single-factor authentication, which has proven inefficient for safeguarding restricted environments. Other challenges of data corruption, theft, mishandle of user credentials, all of which can be compromised due to its single point of access control. This study advances enhanced access security for virtual key door infrastructure via a blockchain-MFA strategy. It implements secure, scalable access control with a 3-layered framework of PIN + RFID + Biometric, validated using smart contracts on a blockchain network. The results demonstrated improvements in security, transparency, and auditability compared to traditional door access control, especially against adversarial attacks from single-point failures and credential vulnerabilities. Our prototype unit demonstrates 3-factor authentication for improved security that ensures forensic traceability of every authentication attempt, making it a viable solution for institutions with high-security needs.
