METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MANAGING NETWORK SECURITY USING VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AND ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
Aspects of the present disclosure include a method, a system, and/or a non-transitory computer readable medium for generating a visual code visual code associated with access to an access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time, transmitting the visual code to a dedicated access device of a requester, receiving an image of the visual code displayed by the dedicated access device, determining whether to grant access to the access-controlled asset by verifying authentication of the visual code, and sending a signal to the access-controlled asset granting access to the requester associated with the dedicated access device.
1 . A security system, comprising:
an access-controlled asset;
an authentication device configured to capture an image of a visual code; and
an authentication server comprising:
a memory including instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
generate the visual code visual code associated with access to the access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time;
transmit the visual code to a dedicated access device of a requester;
receive the image of the visual code displayed by the dedicated access device;
determine whether to grant access to the access-controlled asset by verifying authentication of the visual code; and
send a signal to the access-controlled asset granting access to the requester associated with the dedicated access device.
2 . The security system of claim 1 , wherein the visual code is a Quick Response code (QR code), a matrix code, a MSI code, a Pharmacode, a Universal Product Code, a one dimensional bar code, and/or a two dimensional bar code.
3 . The security system of claim 1 , wherein:
the access-controlled asset is a building; and
the visual code grants access to a first plurality of assets in the building and is denied access to a second plurality of assets in the building.
4 . The access device of claim 1 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more times of a day.
5 . The access device of claim 1 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more days of a week.
6 . A method by an authentication server, comprising:
generating a visual code visual code associated with access to an access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time;
transmitting the visual code to a dedicated access device of a requester;
receiving an image of the visual code displayed by the dedicated access device;
determining whether to grant access to the access-controlled asset by verifying authentication of the visual code; and
sending a signal to the access-controlled asset granting access to the requester associated with the dedicated access device.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the visual code is a Quick Response code (QR code), a matrix code, a MSI code, a Pharmacode, a Universal Product Code, a one dimensional bar code, and/or a two dimensional bar code.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein:
the access-controlled asset is a building; and
the visual code grants access to a first plurality of assets in the building and is denied access to a second plurality of assets in the building.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more times of a day.
10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more days of a week.
11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
generate the visual code visual code associated with access to the access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time;
transmit the visual code to a dedicated access device of a requester;
receive the image of the visual code displayed by the dedicated access device;
determine whether to grant access to the access-controlled asset by verifying authentication of the visual code; and
send a signal to the access-controlled asset granting access to the requester associated with the dedicated access device.
12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the visual code is a Quick Response code (QR code), a matrix code, a MSI code, a Pharmacode, a Universal Product Code, a one dimensional bar code, and/or a two dimensional bar code.
13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the access-controlled asset is a building; and
the visual code grants access to a first plurality of assets in the building and is denied access to a second plurality of assets in the building.
14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more times of a day.
15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the visual code grants access to the access-controlled asset during one or more days of a week.
16 . A dedicated access device of a requester, comprising:
a display;
a memory including instructions;
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
receive a visual code associated with access to the access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time; and
display an image of the visual code, wherein the requester is granted access to the access-controlled asset in response to authentication of the visual code; and
wherein the dedicated access device is dedicated for accessing the access-controlled asset.
