Abstract
A method for utilizing multi-media identities for access control to a secure area or item can begin with a multi-media identity management system providing a multi-media identity to an entity for use with an access control system. The multi-media identity can be a digital identifier defining multi-media authentication data and security privileges for the entity. The provided multi-media identity and multi-media authentication data can be received in an access request for a secure area or item. The multi-media authentication data can be verified against the multi-media data elements of the multi-media identity. The security privileges of the multi-media identity can be validated for the secure area or item. When the multi-media authentication data, multi-media identity, and security privileges are valid, the entity can be granted access and denied access when at least one item is invalid.
