Abstract

An access control system including bi-directional communication between a controller and peripheral authentication devices utilized for selectively accessing a locked door is provided. The access control system provides components and circuitry to enable a user to securely assign and designate any card reader compatible card as an appropriate programming card and thereby activate or deactivate users and/or cards. The present invention further provides encrypted communication between the controller device and a PC.
