Category: Computer Systems Engineering Thesis Project

Since the beginning of human history, the practice of protecting ones territory can be observed. This is reactive activity is seen to be one of the basic animal instints: spontaneous and effective. In modern times, this behavior may still be viewed in a variety of environments. In this paper, "access control" will be discussed.

This thesis presents an inside look of process design when developing an Internet Access Control System. The project aims to benefit small to medium companies that cannot justify the expense in upgrading their current existing access control products. This new device consists of a 1-wire technology supporting multiple access points, which communicates with stand-alone Internet-ready devices.

In addition, several features can be further integrated to make the full advantage out of the technology used in this project.
