A Highly Secure Platform that Supports Smart Locks

Nowadays, the demand of replacing traditional door locks with deadbolts that is controlled by electronic devices such as cell phones via Bluetooth or over WI-FI has increased. Although there are variety of smart locks on market, most of these devices are expensive and vulnerable due to security attackers such as network attackers and malware. In addition, these existing smart locks are limited in their capabilities. Therefore, we are proposing a reliable, secure and economical accessible platform that supports smart locks based on peer to peer communication. The enhanced secured communication will be provided through the designed application. In addition, Host Card Emulation (HCE) was adopted to create a virtual secure element. Three main components are used to test the proposed system that are Beaglebone Blue, NFC module, and designed lock emulation circuit.
