In venues where there are restricted access areas, access control systems that work by entering a code or with some extra element such as a card are used. This paper proposes an access control system based on controlling each restricted area using a Raspberry Pi with an NFC reader, in addition to using Android smartphones emulating an NFC tag as an identification method thanks to an application for these devices. The management of the system is performed through a web panel that also allows to view all the data. Moreover, the system is based on the role access control model. In order to protect the information exchanged between the different elements of the system, security mechanisms are used.
