A smart lock system using Wi-Fi security

In large apartment complexes, fraternities, or even for an owner having many keys for each and every apartment, car, or gate he owns, maintaining entry to authorized personnel only is a problem. Besides the costs involved in fabrication, duplication, and distribution of keys, there are security problems in case of lost keys. In this paper an innovative lock system prototype using today's technologies will be presented. The novelty of this prototype relies on the fact that using new technologies along with old ones will result in a smart and more efficient. We propose a smart digital door lock system for any lock system. A digital door lock system is any equipment that uses the digital information such as a secret code instead of the legacy key system. In our proposed system, a Central Control module is embedded in the door itself, this is required to prevent additional complications and more robust mechanism for the door as a whole. Technically, this system embeds itself in the Local Area Network of the house. This adds extra security layers and prevents access to the system only through the network. Furthermore, the biggest advantage of the proposed system over existing ones is that it can be easily installed with minimal requirement of infrastructures and planning.
