Private Blockchain for Visitor Authentication and Access Control
Ka Ying Chan, Mason Lovett, Yeṣem Kurt Peker · 2021 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data) · 2021
This study applies the high data integrity that comes with blockchain technology towards authentication and access control for visitors of a physical facility. The use of smart contracts on an Ethereum based implementation of the blockchain allows for smart contract code to handle both access control and visitor authentication at scale. Javascript code executed off the blockchain enables the system to interact with and parse through the blockchain data. The proposed system is scalable, applies to multiple use cases, and mitigates issues a centralized approach faces.
