Claim 0:
1. A biometric door lock for preventing unauthorized entry into an area, the biometric door lock comprising:
a front surface and an opposing rear surface, wherein said front surface is accessible to a user for using said biometric door lock;
a fingerprint scanner disposed on said front surface for scanning a fingerprint of the user for authentication;
an illuminating surface proximal to said fingerprint scanner for illuminating a multitude of colors indicating a status of a fingerprint authentication of the user;
an integrated memory for storing one or more registered fingerprints that are used for a comparison with said scanned fingerprint authentication of the user for unlocking said biometric door lock;
a control and processing circuitry for conducting said comparison, wherein a first fingerprint and a second fingerprint of the user is registered using a central software controlling said biometric door lock, and further wherein said first fingerprint and said second fingerprint are registered simultaneously to said biometric door lock;
a virtual clock for correlating at least one of the one or more registered fingerprints with a predetermined authentication time duration, wherein the scanned fingerprint, after authentication from a comparison with the correlated registered fingerprints, is used for unlocking said biometric door lock within the predetermined authentication time duration; and
a rotating handle configured for rotating a latch positioned on said rear surface, wherein a rotation of said rotating handle is enabled when said scanned fingerprint authentication is successful, and wherein the latch is internally coupled to the fingerprint scanner and a key card slot configured to receive and scan a magnetic strip key card for another authentication of the user.
