HotelKey

Product overview: HotelKey is an app used by the hospitality industry to send virtual keys to guests that unlock their door at the facility using their phones. Now the owner of the facility does not need to wait at the door day and night. 

Issues:

• Our team had to combine the following technologies into one secure package: Ultralight C, Desfire EV1, Mifare Plus, Bluetooth, and NFC as well as Beacon technology with augmented reality .The app had to work properly via Bluetooth, allowing a hotel's staff to send a virtual key to guests. Therefore, the app had to be both iOS and Android compatible.

• We provided A-level security; the key cannot be duplicated. Its encrypted data transfer uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) AES 128 bit encryption opening procedures.

• As for the hotel staff – the process had to be easy, fast, and convenient. All they need to do is open the app’s check-in menu, choose a room and date, enter the new guest’s mobile phone number and press the 'Edit Key' to send the key to guest.

Technologies used: Beacon, AR/VR, Ultralight C, Desfire EV1, Mifare Plus, Bluetooth, and NFC
