Abstract
The management of authorizations for access to rooms, buildings and similar is of great importance for many facilities and institutions. However, similar with increasing size and variability, the complexity and the effort required for updating also increases significantly. The presented decentralized solution with locks featuring no permanent connection represents a significant improvement and simplification in this regard. In addition, its distributed blockchain architecture significantly reduces the possibilities for manipulation.
