Progress on the project has been less quantifiable, as we are still figuring out what mechanisms and processes we want to use and want the user experience to be like- knowing that the hardware that we decide on now will determine the user experience at the end of the project. Brooke and I discussed different methods of two-factor authentication, backup methods of door entry, and the various hardware methods we can implement in the door lock. We also attended a meeting with Lorrie Cranor about ideas to consider in ensuring our door lock, mat, and app will be a secure (and more secure than current options) method of door locks.
This upcoming week, I hope to work closely with Brooke to get the parts list created so that we can begin building and testing.
