Fingerprint Based Exam Hall Authentication
Project Area of Specialization Augmented and Virtual RealityProject SummaryAuthentication has always been a major challenge in all types of examination. Verification of the authentic candidate is not an easy task, and also it consumes a lot of time and process.
Here we propose a fingerprint based examination hall authentication system. The system is designed to pass only users verified by their fingerprint scan and block non verified users. Our system consists of a fingerprint scanner connected to a microcontroller circuit. The person needs to first scan his finger on the scanner. The microcontroller now checks the persons fingerprint validity. If the fingerprint is authorized the microcontroller now sends a signal to a motor driver. The motor driver now operates a motor to open a gate. This ensures only authorized users are allowed to enter the examination section and unauthorized users are not allowed to enter.
Project ObjectivesThe objective of this study is as follows:
- To create a system that is capable of tracking impersonators in the examination system using the methodology of finger print biometrics.
- To reduce rate of corruption in the educational sector and increase the rate of self-confidence on students.
- To demonstrate the possibility of computer technology in the satisfaction of human needs and also enforce strict security measures that ensure unregistered students do not write exams for other registered students.
The purpose of this project is to use the fingerprint identification to authenticate the identity of a private and therefore the main aim of this project is to differentiate between a licensed person (student) and an imposter before entering the examination hall.
Project Implementation MethodThe system works as follows:
The system need regulated DC power supply to power the components and the power need to be regulated because, this components need stable power supply and at the certain limit. When the system is powered on the lime bright green light is displayed on the LCD display to show that the system is on, the few seconds later, the following message is displayed on the LCD display: (“Fingerprint based exam hall authentication”) the name of the system, then two seconds later it will display for the user to place the finger on the fingerprint scanner for the fingerprint scan to be captured for authentication. The comparison is done by the microcontroller, compering the recently captured with the one in the database stored after registration phase, if there is a match then the system will ask for a passkey and if the passkey is correct then the microcontroller will signals the Motor drive to open the door to the exam hall. If there is no match between the fingerprints then the system will display that access denied, student not registered, it will never ask for passkey. To sum the operation up, this system consists of a fingerprint scanner connected to a microcontroller circuit. The person needs to first scan his/her finger on the scanner. The microcontroller now checks the persons fingerprint validity. If the fingerprint is authorized the microcontroller now sends a
signal to a motor driver. The motor driver now operates a motor to open a gate. This ensures only authorized users are allowed to enter the examination section and unauthorized users are not allowed to enter.
Benefits of the Project- • Light Weight This system has less weight that conventional multimeter which is easy to handle.
- Mobility Mobility of this system is enhanced. You can move it from here and there easily.
- Convenient the system is more convenient for the observer than conventional multimeter.
- Portability of this framework is improved. You can move it from to a great extent without any problem.
The Fingerprint Based Exam Hall Authentication is designed to pass only users verified by their fingerprint scan and block nonverified users. Our system consists of a fingerprint scanner connected to a microcontroller circuit. In registration mode, the system allows us to register up to 20 users and save their identity with respective id numbers in the system memory. After storage, the person needs to first scan his finger on the scanner. The microcontroller now checks the person’s fingerprint validity. If the fingerprint is authorized the microcontroller now sends a signal to a motor driver. The motor driver now operates a motor to open a gate.
