Abstract
A security system is disclosed. The security system includes a secure zone, user access to which is restricted, a first gateway encrypted using a first encryption algorithm, and a second gateway encrypted using a second encryption algorithm. The first gateway is configured to restrict access to the second gateway, and the second gateway is accessible via the first gateway with a first key. The second gateway is configured to restrict access to the secure zone, and the secure zone is accessible via the second gateway with a second key. The first encryption algorithm is different from the second encryption algorithm.
Claims15
A security system comprising:
- a secure zone, user access to which is restricted;
- a first gateway encrypted using a first encryption algorithm;
- and
- a second gateway encrypted using a second encryption algorithm;
- wherein the first gateway is configured to restrict access to the second gateway, the second gateway being accessible via the first gateway with a first key;
- wherein the second gateway is configured to restrict access to the secure zone, the secure zone being accessible via the second gateway with a second key;
- and
- wherein the first encryption algorithm is different from the second encryption algorithm.
A method of granting a user access to a secure zone in a security system, the method comprising:
- generating a first encryption key for accessing a first gateway;
- generating a second encryption key for accessing a second gateway;
- and
- providing the first encryption key and the second encryption key to a user attempting to access the secure zone;
- wherein the second gateway is accessible via the first gateway, and the secure zone is accessible via the second gateway;
- and
- wherein the first encryption key is different from the second encryption key.
