a) Absolutely possible, but would require your door lock to be either connected to the blockchain or receive regular updates of the blockchain
b) you cannot prevent anyone from handing over a private key .. it's just data. However you can prevent people from handing over a token.
c) definitely, you could have tokens like HOTEL.1DAY, HOTEL.2DAY ... etc .. and the countdown starts when the transaction to your account was first seen by the blockchain

However, I think the requirement of having the door lock connected to the internet/blockchain may result in some inefficiencies .. but you can gain from b) what is definitely not possible with regular RFID/magnetic-cards

a possible if your door has IoT properties or if there is a person that checks it manually

b and c are possible with multisig but maybe there is direct solution in graphene, i don' know.

I believe this all should be possible. (Perhaps not upon initial release of 2.0, but definitely once all the features are finished)

Hi -  I'm not a developer, but I am curious if the following is possible with Bitshares?


Is it possible to create a digital token for the purpose of granting controlled access?

For example:
If I had a hotel, and were to rent a room to someone for a night.


a) Could I sell a digital token to someone that would act as a key to the hotel room?

b) And that, such a key would would not be transferable to another person? (security)

c) And that, such a key would have a time expiry (smart contract?), or the door could be reprogrammed not to accept the key (digital token)?


Cheers

PS: Overall, I'm just trying to understand the ability of Bitshares to provide token controlled access. I can think of several applications. 

Some applications you may want to grant the ability to transfer the digital token to another person — such as in the case of warranties for products.
