Deployment of a Virtual Key-Card Smart-Lock System: The Quest for Improved Client Security, Eased User Mobility and Privacy

Abstract

With an upsurge of data by global brands to interact/reach prospective clients,
the birth of the Internet has today bridged the information gap. Virtualization
techniques are today utilized as means to bridge the various lapses in our human
processing endeavors. The adoption of tech to perform a variety of functions has
since become imperative to ease our daily living as well as seamlessly allow
transformations of various kinds to be impacted on our society. Study proposes a
virtual key card access with cost-effective and cheap solution for managing access
to areas within a facility. We have successfully integrated IoTs, virtual key card
access, web-access control, solenoid lock integration, and ESP32-controller to
create a comprehensive access control system. Its benefits over traditional key
includes better security, user data privacy, system efficiency, and user
convenience. The system also provides real-time monitor and control capabilities
that will allow administrators to track and manage access to the facility remotely.
And in turn, enhancing system's security and efficiency.
