A role-based access control system for intelligent buildings

Abstract

Recent booming development of intelligent buildings has brought lots of opportunities and challenges to field of the existing building system, especially in the aspect of access control system. This paper proposes a new access control system for intelligent buildings using a role-based control mode and a cloud-based framework. It aims to improve the security, reduce the cost and simplify the administration. This paper also designs a security protocol to realize the secure communications within this system. In addition, the security properties of the proposed protocols are analyzed and verified using model checking tools. Finally, a prototypical system based on our framework is implemented and its performance is evaluated.
