Distributed biometric access control testbed
Stephen J. Treado, Steven Charles Cook, Michael A. Galler · 2004
This report describes the development and implementation of a testbed for demonstrating a distributed, multimodal biometric authentication system for access control applications in buildings.The testbed includes a number of different biometric readers, along with a smart card reader, which were integrated with the Building and Fire Research Laboratory's Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT).The VCBT allows the realtime simulation of a complete building automation and control system.Typical access control scenarios were emulated using the virtual testbed, to develop methods for implementing biometric access control, and to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the biometric access control system. 1
