Tittel:
The Mobile Phone as Doorkeeper - Mobile Phone Implementation
Beskrivelse:
The mobile phone has already communication capabilities in close range and long range (Bluetooth, WLAN, GSM/SMS). Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) opens for short range communication, and thus for applications which today use contactless cards or keys.
The application we envisage is the SMS doorkeeper:
- send an SMS to somebody who is going to visit you
- SMS is installed and communicates with RFID in the phone
- Home server gets information about "access right", and allows access when the person authenticates himself at the door.
- Optional: The owner of the house receives an SMS "somebody has entered"
Example: Send SMS to plummer with access authentication "friday from 0700 to 1200"
Målsetting:
- Establish architecture with all components, esp. with respect to scaling issues
- HomeServer: Install SMS based authentication with access rights, potential architecture for additional home services
- Telecom service platform: Establish SMS send functionality (might be dummy)
- Mobile: SMS communication with SIM card
- RFID/NFC: Information security and information storage on RFID. Access different information depending on service provider (e.g. Oslo sporveien: a) monthly ticket, b) payment to Narvesen)
- Optional: Implement solution on Linux based Linksys NSLU2
- Risk & Security analysis: What are the risks and vulnerabilities in the concept, how to deal with them.
- Port RFID reader software to Linux (suitable?)
Detailed tasks
This part will have the major focus on the mobile phone functionality in the prototype.
- Describe potential access to the home, e.g. admittance, electronic access, device access
- Establish a functional architecture for SMS based home access, based on
- current work in the NFC forum
- SIM based key distribution
- Mobile phone functionality
- Server/Home infrastructure
- Evaluate potential security threats for home admittance
- Establish methods for storing (RF)ID in SIM cards, including
- methods for application specific keys
- state of the art in encryption on SIM cards
- Prototype development of SIM based door opener on Mobile Phone
- Encryption of "door opener application key" on SIM card
- Establish methods for key distribution
Forutsetninger: Ability to work with Java, both with J2SE on server side and with J2ME on the mobile phone (Nokia RFID SDK). Ability to work with C on Windows for controlling the RFID reader/writer. Knowledge about network programming both with Java and C, including both low-level communication using sockets and more high-level functionality such as webservice/SOAP and web-applications (servlets or other).
Egnet som: The work can best be done in a team of 2 - 4 people.
