Container based testbed for gate security using open API mashup

Abstract In this paper, we propose a container based testbed for the gate security system for a smart campus. The security system incorporated two-factor authentication, ID card based identification and face recognition, and authorization which were implemented using an open application programming interface (API) mashup. We analyzed requirements to provide an efficient and flexible testbed to developers and testers working simultaneously. Then, we designed and constructed a container based structure to satisfy the requirements including lightweight virtualization technology and dynamic private domain name management. Finally, we present the automation script to build the testbed and test the security system.
