Secure Encrypted Steganography Graphical Password scheme for Near Field Communication smartphone access control system

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, Near field communication (NFC) and Ad-Hoc network (ZigBee) have attracted wide attention for their security, speed and low power consumption. NFC has been used in access control research. In the past, the system only considered the switch control of the door lock, but could not achieve safety management in large building scenarios, resulting in security loopholes and poor maintenance of access control. In order to solve the above problems, Automatic networking access control system based on NFC and ZigBee technology is implemented. The access control and Internet of Things system (IoT) are fused through NFC. NFC identity information is transmitted through ZigBee to the management for identity authentication. The wireless transmission adopts the improved reduced AES advanced encryption algorithm R-AES, which ensures reliable data transmission. On this basis, the security of access control is realized. Practical results show that the Ad-Hoc network access control system and method for edge NFC terminal can improve the management efficiency and security of building access control.

The use of smartphone is pervasive. With device pocketability driving user engagement throughout the day, it is highly probable that smartphones will replace daily items (e.g., keys and credit cards) that people now carry around. The idea presented here is a significant step in this direction. This chapter details the authors' design and development of a smartphone access control system using Near Field Communication (NFC) Encrypted Steganography Graphical Password (ESGP). The primary objective is to leverage the technical capability of NFC-enabled smartphones in developing a two-factor authentication system connecting physical resources (i.e., premises) and virtual resources (i.e., password knowledge). This involves a novel integration of token-based, graphical-password authentication, cryptography and steganography. The second objective is to evaluate users' behavior intention to use the system. New insights for researchers and business world interested in the unified solutions for NFC-compatible smartphone, access control and mobile security are provided.

Response Scheme

The unpleasant experience of long queue while waiting to check-in at hotel is a common problem faced by guests especially during holidays. As such, various self-service technologies (SSTs) were introduced over the years by researchers with the aim to increase the avenues of checking-in guests. Self-check-in kiosk is an invention that allows guests to check-in themselves using bar codes that were sent to them in advance. Although bar codes are able to reduce guests’ waiting time, it cannot be used to unlock hotel rooms. This makes mobile device a better medium for hotel check-in and access control system. Despite mobile device is very convenient and easy to operate, guests would have to own the specific type of mobile device such as near-field communication smartphone and its customized application before using the system. This makes the solution not user-friendly to guests. Therefore, a novel encrypted quick response scheme is presented to extend the existing SST to unify the process of check-in and room access control. The proposed scheme uses quick response codes and cryptography techniques to generate secure hotel keys that can be printed or stored inside a smartphone, thus, supporting a wide range of guests.
