A control system for access to a limited access area requires identification and preferably authentication of the accessing person; in order to achieve efficiency and effectiveness, the system need to be automatic. According to the present invention, the arrangement associated with the accessing person is split into at least two devices in communication between each other: a personal identity biometric authentication device (D) and a wirelessly communicating device (D); the authentication device (D) is responsible for user authentication, while the communication device (D) is responsible for transmitting requests of access authorization to an electronic access controller (D).

The system allows a reliable and automatic detection of moving vehicles and advantageously also identification of the moving vehicles. A WPAN node device (advantageously a ZigBee node device) is installed on a vehicle to be detected when the vehicle is moving. Three WPAN node devices (advantageously three ZigBee node devices) are installed on the ground. One of the three WPAN node devices has a wide radio coverage area and acts as an 'exciter' of the vehicle WPAN node device. Another one of the three WPAN node devices has a wide radio coverage area and acts as the 'parent' of the vehicle WPAN node device. A further one of the three WPAN node devices has a narrow radio coverage area and acts as a &#x201c;detector&#x201d; of the vehicle WPAN node device. The three radio coverage areas are sized and located so that a moving vehicle to be detected enters the area of the &#x201c;exciter&#x201d; before entering the area of the &#x201c;parent&#x201d; and before entering the area of the &#x201c;detector&#x201d;. After detection, the system provides for sending information to a fourth WPAN node device present in a user mobile telephone terminal.

A method for secure communication between a local area network and a wide area network includes integrating a NAT functionality in a firewall associated with the local area network, wherein the NAT functionality is suitable to translate the source port of outgoing data packets with a NAT port value obtained by adding to a NAT offset value the value of the session ED used in a session database. When reply data packets coming from the wide area network are received by the firewall, the session ID is extracted from the NAT port value and is used for directly pointing to the session database, thus reducing the time required to recognize the session.
