abstract

• Visible Light Communications (VLC) allow new solutions and applications thanks to the advantages of optical wireless communications. It can be used on any mobile phone device, since these already bear the required hardware component (LED in the mobile screen), and as a result inmediate application is possible. The technological principle of VLC in controlled access is based on the use of the mobile LED (screen), which can transmit codes by modulating the LED light in the sub-second domain and offered in an App, and an optical receiver in the device to be accessed, which is able to decode and verify the codes sent. Given the universal integration of mobile devices in our society, LightKey project is an intuitive and multi-purpose solution for any user, and is able to ensure a secure and personal controlled access. For industrial applications LightKey can become a middleware between users and a host. This implies that LightKey will not store any personal data, but will communicate with the host, mainly by wireless communication, and the host will be responsible for validating the codes received. © 2022 IEEE.
