Security and efficiency are two increasingly important aspects for any organization, directly addressed by access control and registering presence systems, which include various recording methods. It is crucial that these methods are resistant to attacks, convenient for users, and legally supported.
This thesis examines existing and alternative methods of attendance recording and access control in the workplace. The purpose of the research was to determine which alternative methods could improve existing solutions that are often impractical or outdated. The research was based on an analysis of existing solutions, a review of domestic and international literature, and interviews with experts and users of these systems. We used qualitative methods such as interviews and observations, as well as empirical testing of various alternative methods. Finally, we developed an application that demonstrates the practical functionality of alternative methods.
The main findings indicate that alternative methods such as biometric ID cards, RFID bracelets, NFC and RFID tags, and mobile devices have the potential to improve the efficiency and security of attendance recording. However, these methods are currently limited by either legislative or user constraints, necessitating further research for practical implementation. In contrast, cards like the Urbana or bank cards are deemed unsuitable replacements due to security vulnerabilities in their reading methods.
The research has contributed to identifying the shortcomings and advantages of existing methods and proposing alternatives that could help organizations manage attendance records and security more effectively. The findings can serve as a foundation for further research and the development of new technologies tailored to the specific needs of different work environments.
