We propose an innovative luggage tracking and management system that can be used to secure airport terminal services and reduce the waiting time of passengers during check-in. This addresses an urgent need to streamline and optimize passenger flows at airport terminals and lowers the risk of terrorist threats. The system employs Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and homomorphic cryptography (the Paillier cryptosystem) to protect wireless communication and stored data. A security analysis and a performance test show the usability and applicability of the proposed system.

Pino Caballero-GilA wide variety of business areas organize their work based on the location of their employees because only by taking these locations into account, they can schedule activities properly. However, in a large number of cases, the requirement of immediacy, such as the need to help an injured person in a hospital or to dry up water in a busy hallway to prevent people from slipping, is a major constraint. This work is based on a proof of concept in which we used Bluetooth Low Energy devices to track the location of each employee in an indoor environment. Among other factors, the location of each individual is assigned a large percentage of the weight to assign a task. This proposal is intended to cover some scenarios of great interest, guaranteeing the correctness of measurement and the privacy of staff tracking.
About Me
Néstor loves a wide variety of technologies but development of interfaces is his cornerstone. From his first contact with programming, he tried to develop better interfaces than a command terminal. This concern has led him to investigate more and more in the exciting world of user interfaces.
Yet, he did not focus his efforts only on making pretty user interfaces. He knew how to combine an abstract area like security and cryptography with modern designs. Fact that started his career as a researcher at the University of La Laguna where he continued working for years after finishing his studies. During that period he published some papers, highlighting the publication with title “A Luggage Control System Based on NFC and Homomorphic Cryptography” available at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/misy/2017/2095161/
Without abandoning the link with the researcher community, he started his career in the professional world. There he has grown as a frontend programmer with some designer touches while he has worked developing cryptographic systems.
