Hi guys, I’ve recently ordered an electronic lock that I’m installing on my door and I’m looking for a decent RFID and biometric access so I can gain access with a RFID tag and a biometric fingerprint scan. I can’t seem to find any decent solutions that are relatively good looking and cheap. Does anyone have some advice?

Hi Guys, I am prototyping a similar solution but I am using public key crypto to decouple the biometrics credentials from what is used to grant access: my suggestion is to avoid keeping the fingerprint templates on a device that might be wall mounted outside a “secure” area (e.g., outside your door). Also, RFID tend to be too insecure for Home access (easy to duplicate), please keep that in mind when building your solution Happy Hacking!
