Abstract

A smart door system, also known as a smart lock or intelligent door access system, is a modern Internet of Things (IoT) security technology that allows for remote and automated control of entry and exit within buildings or rooms in any smart environment (SE). These systems which frequently integrate with smartphones, keycards, or biometric authentication methods to improve security, convenience, and access control exhibit inefficiencies and setbacks for relying on various edge devices which introduce new vulnerabilities on daily basis. To mitigate these inefficiencies in future designs, this study considers it imperative to comprehensively understand the inefficiencies and related vulnerabilities of existing smart door systems in order to better design a robust system. Meanwhile, no systematic research has explored smart door control systems to identify the level of inefficiency and vulnerability each possesses, for a better design. Therefore, this study will explore the IoT automation and smart lock systems, highlighting their combined impact on increasing security, efficiency and their related vulnerabilities to guide for a more efficient design. Apart from contributing to usability research, this research will lead to a robust door control design implication, which is future consideration of our research.
