Abstract
The invention relates to a method of controlling access to a processing device using an access token with a machine readable identity. The method comprises reading the identity of the access token at the location of the processing device and querying a database comprising valid identities of access tokens, wherein each identity is associated with an access permission level. If the identity is a valid identity, the method further comprises determining the associated level of access and allowing a level of access to the processing device according to the associated access permission level. In some embodiments, the processing device is an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
