ABSTRACT:

Authentication is the act of confirming the truth of an attribute of a single piece of data

claimed true by an entity. It’s a mechanism of associating an incoming request with a set of

identifying credentials. Most of the schools nowadays are implementing automated techniques

and processes to meet their growing needs, and it can be best defined by widely used of

computers and other device. Authentication is required mainly for the students and the

faculty.This paper involves three levels of the user authentication. It contains three logins having

three different kinds of password systems. Users would be given privilege to access their data at

any time. This paper comprises of RFID system, Biometric system, and password based system.

This way there would be negligible chances of boot or anyone to crack the passwords even if

they have cracked first level. Hence while creating the technology the emphasis was put on the

use of innovative and non-traditional methods. The system developed is user friendly and has

simple interface. It provides strong security for the data. The paper involves in management of

attendance of the student, maintaining the report up to date and time. Hardware components

required are NI MYRIO, RFID readers and tags, finger print sensor, USB port, and male to

female pin connectors.

Keywords: Authentication, RFID system, Biometric system,NI MYRIO, finger print sensor,

1. Introduction: Attendance Management System (AMS) is software developed for daily

attendance of students. Previously, the college relied heavily on paper records. This paper

focuses on preventing information in an easy way and intelligible manner which reduces paper

and time. The paper makes use of database in order to keep a record of attendance and is used

while generating a report for individual student. The system is fully controlled by administrator

about the staff’s profile, student information student attendance. The administrator can add new

student, add new staff, view staff and student and view the student attendance report. The

faculties are able to directly access all aspects of the student’s progress through a secure, online

interface embedded in the college website. After the class has been finished, the lecturer can

view the student’s attendance that has been saved in the faculty server. This system will also help

in evaluating attendance eligibility criteria of a student. The faculty can also send messages to

parents or guardians about the student performance and attendance by short listing the students.

Hence, here communication is made easier with parents and faculty. The messages can be sent

through SMS to the mobile number given in details of the students in the file. The purpose of

developing this software is to computerize the tradition way of taking attendance. Another

purpose of software is to generate the report automatically at the end of the session. Moreover,

graphical user interface is provided in the proposed system, which provides user to deal with

system very easily.

2 Objectives: This paper was aimed at providing authentication schemes that shall bridge the gap

between the security and usability. It is also aimed that security be achieved using RFID card as

factor of authentication. This paper is aimed to the highest security in authenticating users

through Fingerprint module. It provides the detailed database of the attendance which can be

accessed through password.

2.1 RFID based attendance system:

There are plenty of educational institutions that use RFID technology to record their

student’s attendance. Easy connection of data into internet make RFID technology most common

technology used in recording student attendance However, RFID technologies incur high cost

and need experience people to handle the system. Apart from that, biometrics technology is

another tremendous use of technology in the domain of attendance reporting and tracking. Most

of the biometrics technology used thumb print as sign of system entry. This allows a fair and

reliable attendance to be recorded since there is no platform for any attendance cheating

Biometric utilizes the fingerprint apart from thumb print method.

2.2 Biometric attendance system:

Fingerprint peripheral used to record the attendance and sent the data into system using

wireless technology. Image recording is another recent method used in recording attendance.

These advanced technologies require high costing and well trained system developer. The

Design and implementation of Student Attendance Management system based on MVC paper

aims at the research of Web technology, as well as the attendance management system based on

the campus network for all college students is implemented. The system is controlled by Web

Work, while data or status and logic process are enforced by “Action”. The system uses Multi-

layer structure of J2EE which has been realized by Free Marker, Web Work and spring. Three

technologies have been used in page resources layer: HTML performs structure of document,

CSS defines style of document and JavaScript decides behavior of document. The presentation

layer is realized by JSP in traditional Web development. The modules of attendance management

system include importing course-plan, adding, and modifying, querying, verifying and

summarizingattendanceinformation.

2.3 Automation of attendance system:

The purpose of Automation of Attendance System using RFID, Biometrics, and GSM

Modem with .NET framework paper is to develop a wireless system to detect and maintain the

attendance of a student and locate a student using RFID, Biometrics, and GSM modem with .net

framework. For, this the students ID (identification) card is tagged with an Radio-frequency

identification (RFID) passive tag which is matched against the database and only finalized once

his fingerprint is verified using the biometric fingerprint scanner. The guardian is intimated by a

SMS (short message service) sent using the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)

modem. There will be a website through which the student, teacher and the guardians can view

the status of attendance. The system can maintain the attendance records of both students and

faculty members of an institution. The system can also detect the current location of the students,

faculties, and other staff members anywhere within the domain of institution campus.An

automated SMS service is facilitated in the system, which sends an SMS automatically to the

parents in order to notify that their ward has successfully reached the college. Parents as well as

student will be notified via e-mail, if the student is lagging behind in attendance. There is a

functionality of automatic attendance performance graph in the system, which gives an idea of

the student’s consistency in attendance throughout the semester.

3. Experimental Result:

3.1 Interfacing RFID Reader module with lab view

Figure 3.1 RFID connections

At a simple level, RFID systems consist of three components: an RFID tag orsmart label,

an RFID reader, and antenna. RFID contains an integrated circuit and antenna, which are used

transmit data to the RFID reader (also called interrogator). The reader then converts the radio

waves to more unstable form of data. Information collected from the tags is then transferred

through a communications interface to a host computer system, where the data can be stored in a

database and analyzed at later time.

The below block diagram shows the working of an RFID. Once the tag is scanned, the

information store in the tag is passed to the code through the universal serial bus. The

information is displayed in the data string.With the help of Lab view, the code has been

developed so that the student can enter into the college by scanning his/her RFID.

The execution of the RFID is discussed further with the help of block diagrams and front

panel of the lab view.

3.2 Interfacing Fingerprint sensor with Lab view:

Fingerprint processing has three primary functions: enrollment, searching and

verification. Among these functions, enrollment which captures fingerprint image from the

sensor plays an important role. Hardware connections are shown below.

Figure 5.2 Fingerprint hardware connections

Fingerprint sensor works with a demo software called SFG demo. SFG demo enrolls the

fingerprints and stores them which are used for comparisons.

3.2.1 Working of SFG demo:

Download the driver and SFG demo software with the respective window version.

Then check for the port to which USB is connected. Click on open device and

select the port number (ex: com1, com2, etc.)

The dialogue will be displayed as open device successful. Click on capture.

Put the finger on the sensor when blue light is turned on, the image will be

captured. If the image is perfect enough to be used, save the image to the sample

folder.

Capture the images and save to the database with their respective names.

Below diagram gives a clear picture about SFG demo.

3.2.2 Execution of fingerprint module:

The fingerprint sensor captures the fingerprints by the above process as

mentioned. These fingerprints are compared with the template fingerprint using vision and

motion tools by lab view software.The fingerprint code contains two cases where the code

checks for the suitable fingerprints and gives access to either of the cases depending on the

match.The below block diagram shows the execution of the fingerprint module in a clear

descriptive way.The case below describes the true case where the given fingerprint are matched

with the sample fingerprint .The name of the fingerprint is obtained in this case which is passed

to the main VI through a global variable.

Figure 3.3 Fingerprint Block diagram

The case below describes the invalid case which is false where the template fingerprint is not

matched with the samples in the database. Invalid data is sent through the global variable to the

main VI.

3.4 Block Diagram:The three level authentications include five cases namely welcome, RFID,

Fingerprint, save data, Check details.The block diagrams of all the cases are shown below with

brief description.

Figure 3.5 Main Block diagram (Welcome case)

The “welcome” case is the default case which is displayed in the status initially when the program is complied


2003

Figure 3.6 Main Block diagram (RFID True case)

RFID case contains two sub cases where the true case displays “welcome, check your RFID” and

the false case checks the RFID tag number with the stored database and displays the status

respectively. After RFID case is complied, it gives access to the fingerprint.

Figure 3.7 Block diagram (RFID False case)


2004

When the status is displayed as “Give fingerprint”, the fingerprint code is compiled which

already discussed in above topic (3. 2).

Figure 3.8 Block diagram (fingerprint false case)

After the fingerprint is accessed, the code saves the details with the login time and date which is

saved to the database for further access.

Figure 3.9 Block diagram (save data: login case)

The below block diagram gives the information about the log out time. If the RFID is scanned

once again, the exit time sub VI is compiled internally and a pop up is displayed to log out.

3.5 Password Level: This paper provides a password based access in order to view the

attendance sheet which is updated every day. We implemented this to overcome the difficulties

faced by the faculty during the attendance calculation of the students. The password and

username are provided to the students and faculty in their database.The password code calculates

the delay and working hours. This is shown in block diagram and front panel.

4. Conclusion: Authentication is the proper validation and right management of the user for

accessing the resources of any information system. Single mechanism is not efficient and

effective to provide adequate security. On that note we go for three level authentication

technique which employs RFID, BIOMETRIC and PASSWORD to enhance the efficient

security for the users.

5. Future Scope: Our application has immense scope of development in the future. Some of

the points that can be taken into account at that point of time are:This paper can further be

developed by using the camera based facial recognition technique for taking the attendance of

the student. This would reduce manual work to a minimal level.Voice recognition based

attendance management. The system will mark the student’s attendance when He /She give the

roll call.We can add a GPS tracker to the student mobile system to keep a check on his present

location.
