1. A method of authenticating a user in terms of a cloud based access control system, said method comprising:
populating a database with predetermined fingerprint data from a biometric sensor; associating said predetermined fingerprint data with a database comprising information related to one or more authorized users in terms of said access control system; storing said associated fingerprint data with information related to access permissions of one or more authorized users in a centralized data storage system; loading data associated with authorization permissions of said individual user to said access card; swiping said access card at said access control system; reading a fingerprint of said user at said access control system; comparing fingerprint data of said user obtained from the cloud to the fingerprint data retrieved from reading a fingerprint of said user at said access control system; and determining access for said user based on a successful comparison between said data obtained from the cloud and one or more access permissions of said user, as retrieved from said access card.
