Abstract

With the vast majority of university students carrying smartphones, more pieces of technology should take advantage of its availability. Currently, most lock and key systems are outdated and primitive. Our team is proposing a solution to this problem that makes use of the technology that we all carry in our pockets daily. Our solution, DigiKey, will improve security and ease of use along with adding on additional features to the current system with the use of smartphones as digital keys. DigiKey will utilize a database of digital keys that can be used from a smartphone to unlock a DigiKey lock over a bluetooth connection.
