Logging access attempts to an area
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing software that logs events associated with accessing an area, the software comprising:
- executable code that records an event associated with accessing the area to provide an event recording, wherein the event recording is generated after an attempt to access the area using a card, and wherein the event recording includes log entry information that logs the attempt to access the area and is created separately from information presented as part of a request for access during the attempt to access the area;
executable code that authenticates at least the event recording to provide an authenticated recording, wherein the authenticated recording is authenticated at least in part by a door used in the attempt to access the area, the authenticated recording being generated at the door; and
executable code that provides to the card at least one other event recording corresponding to at least one other access attempt using at least one other card.

Abstract
Logging events associated with accessing an area includes recording an event associated with accessing the area to provide an event recording and authenticating at least the event recording to provide an authenticated recording. Recording an event may include recording a time of the event. Recording an event may include recording a type of event. The event may be an attempt to access the area. Recording an event may include recording credentials/proofs used in connection with the attempt to access the area. Recording an event may include recording a result of the attempt. Recording an event may include recording the existence of data other than the credentials/proofs indicating that access should be denied. Recording an event may include recording additional data related to the area. Authenticating the recording may include digitally signing the recording. Authenticating at least the event recording may include authenticating the event recording and authenticating other event recordings to provide a single authenticated recording.
