APPARATUS AND METHOD PROVIDING DISTRIBUTED ACCESS POINT AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL WITH VALIDATION FEEDBACK

摘要

A system for distributed access point authentication and access control with validation feedback. Demographic data and access control logic regarding individuals seeking access to one or more control spaces is stored in a core data storage device or database operably connected to a computer. A portion of this data is extracted by a content extraction control module, encapsulated in one or more distribution modules, and distributed to one or more access control points. Individuals present requests for access at or through the access control points, and obtain access if they are authorized. Feedback about access authorization attempts is sent to feedback modules and stored in staging databases. The core data storage device or database subsequently is updated with the information about access authorization attempts.
