Access Control -
Where are we and where are we
going?
Loyola Marymount University
Private Jesuit Institution – 1911
5500 Undergraduates
1600 Graduates – 1300 Law School
– 3500 Residents 1200 Faculty/Staff Card System – 1997 Now – 500 Readers 350 Online Doors 4000 offline locks 2
What is Access Control?
Doors
Turnstiles
Parking Gates
What Access Control is not?
Not Security
But an Element of Security – Monitoring
– Alarms
– Cameras etc.
Why Electronic Access Control?
Control, Monitor and Report
Cost – Vs. Rekeying
Convenience – Lost Keys
Manage Time Schedules
Remote Control (online)
Access Control at LMU
Blackboard – 350 Doors
– Two Systems
Lenel – 40 Doors (and growing?)
Offline Locks
– 4000 Doors – Res Halls, Offices etc.
How are schools using Access
Control – Besides Doors?
Track Usage – Bill for time (Grants) - ASU
Gas Pump (on/off) – Xavier
Integration with Energy
– Sweden – Card in/out for lights
Cabinets/Storage/Safes – Assa Abloy
Parking Meters
Student Tracking
Visitor Management
Components
Credentials
– Card, Phone, Key etc.
Readers/Swipes Controllers Locking Hardware Monitoring Alarms Power Supplies Backup Power
– Fail Locked or Open
Software
Servers
Cameras
Online ….
Many Users, Frequent Changes
Real time
– Lost card cancellation – Lock down
– Alerts, Intrusion alarms
Remote openings
Remote changes
….vs. Offline
Few Users
Limited Changes
Less Expensive
Like Hotel
May offer features not in Online
– Office Mode
Access Technologies
Currently Common
– MagStripe (plus PIN) – Prox – Biometrics Newer Technologies – Wireless – RFID/NFC – POE
Newer Technologies
Smartcards (Contact)
– Chip and Pin
– Driven by CC’s - Common in Europe (EMV) – Since 90’s – is now any different?
Contactless
– Prox – NFC
• ASU/Villanova/et. al.
POE – Power Over Ethernet
Why Higher (
More Expensive)
Technologies
Security of the Credential
Additional Apps
– What data/apps do you need?
• Health, Biometrics, Stored Value, Login Info
Convenience and reliability of the credential
Other Factors
Multiple Identities (Systems)
Multiple Technologies
Intelligent updating – Touch Lock - or pass “point” – card/system is updated.
Multi-Factor authentication
Wireless – Which standard?
WiFi
Zigbee
Proprietary
Which works best?
Which is the most compatible/common?
How do you plan for a building not yet constructed?
Contactless
Which one?
– HID – Mifare – Desfire – FeliCa – Et. al.
Work Together – Or Not?
NFC
How do you deliver secure mobile Key?
Over the air? Hardwired? (ASU)
Over the Air - Who pays for data/delivery?
– Phone provider? Apple, Samsung, Nokia – Service provider? ATT, Sprint, Verizon – Integrator – Bb, CBord
– Access Integrator – Best, Onity, Persona – School??
Legal Aspects
California
– Requires all state supported new construction – lockable from the inside
– How many of yours?
– But not by the wrong person?
Can you change the state of the door
– At the door?, Offline, Online (how easy?) – Do you want to lock valid people out?
Hard to install interior lockdowns on electronic locks.
Costs/Benefits
Cost vs. Functionality
ROI beyond “Cool”?
Technical Challenges
Which Technology?
Wired or Wireless or Hybrid???
Weather
# of Users
Controlling access to the system
Reporting
Quality/Reliability of Hardware
Other Considerations
Integration with other systems
– HR – SIS
– Housing Systems (StarRez, Adirondack, RMS) – Other Access Systems
Management
Policies
– How do you get access?
– Requestor vs. Approver vs. Implementer
How do you make Assignments
– Manual, Automated
– Distributed Management?
How (and Who) Manage Multiple
Systems
Centralized or Distributed (or Hybrid)
Summary
Options becoming more viable
More options coming down the road –
– NFC etc.
But….
ROI
Take your best shot and hope the Technology Lasts – Future Proof
