Within the innovation project that we promote at the CIFP Emilio Campuzano LHII and CIFP Andra Mari LHII centers, and with the collaboration of Tknika, we have successfully tested the first prototype of the access control system using Blockchain. In this first prototype we have managed to manage access to a streaming studio through interaction with the Ethereum Sepolia testnet, so we have managed to perform operations such as opening and closing the door or monitoring access control through the Blockchain network.
The project seeks to deepen the knowledge that we have in the FP of Euskadi of Blockchain networks and generate a use case for the application of said technology on devices that form the Internet of Things, such as in this example, it could be the electronic lock of a door The implementation of this technology not only aligns with current security and access management needs, but also establishes a solid foundation for future IoT applications.
After the successful implementation of this prototype, efforts are being made to scale the project, so the next step will be to install a series of smart locks that can be used by several users through the Blockchain.
Likewise, visits to several Vocational Training centers are planned for the coming weeks, with the purpose of sharing the project experience and transferring the knowledge acquired about access control and Blockchain technology applied to the IoT. These initiatives aim to promote collaboration and exchange of ideas, and to facilitate the adoption of technological innovations in a broader range of vocational educational institutions.
