Bio-Thentication

ABSTRACT
Bio-thentication involves recording of a unique feature of the human body
such as finger-print or iris scan. This gives us an advantage over conventional
identification systems which do not require member’s presence.

Our approach will mainly focus on updating the real time presence of the
registered member of the organization.The finger-print image will be recorded
along with other relevant information concerned to legit member of the
organization. This will reduce the hassle of maintaining records at various
levels in organization.

Recording the data will be done with the help of R307 biometric module.
The data will be sent via wirelessly to a remote server. This project will
involve concepts like Internet of Things, Embedded Systems and finds its
application in fields of College/School Attendance, Railway passenger’s
identity verification.
Introduction to Bio-Verification
Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified
by evaluating one or more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers
include fingerprints, hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns,
voice waves, DNA, and signatures. The oldest form of biometric verification is
fingerprinting. Historians have found examples of thumbprints being used as a
means of unique identification on clay seals in ancient China. Biometric
verification has advanced considerably with the advent of computerized databases
and the digitization of analog data, allowing for almost instantaneous personal
identification.
EXISTING TECHNOLOGY
Today every organization has identification system whether they are RFID cards,
barcode scanning, password protection and bio-verification. This is due to the fact
that presence of each personnel cannot be taken individually simply because it is
inefficient to do so. Most of the identification system requires the personnel to go
to these systems as they are stuck to the walls. This shows that the identification
systems are NOT PORTABLE. Some organizations might prefer it this way but in
places like colleges where each hour the presence of student is recorded this will
pose a huge problem. This is where the existing technology lacks and the purpose of
the project comes in to play.
CONTRIBUTION
The main purpose of this project it to make the bio-verification process easy
by making the entire device STANDALONE which means that it will run on
a battery rather than connection to wall socket. This device will also upload
the finger-print of the personnel online to a secured database to either verify
and existing personnel or register a new individual. This device is
PORTABLE which means that any personnel can verify and register
anyplace and anytime. This product also opens a NEW SECTOR where its
finds its application to play prominent role.This sector is RAILWAY
TICKETING SYSTEM. This method also helps India achieve its goal
towards digitalization.
PROCESS INVOLVED
Registration
➔ Enter Unique No. provided
by organization.
➔ Scan finger-print .
➔ Click OK on the device to
register yourself .
➔ This unique no. and
finger-print will get stored
on the database server.
➔ Data can be accessed only
by management authority.
Verification
❖ The user will get there
finger-print scanned.
❖ This data will be
cross-checked with already
present copy in the server .
❖ If used in a school then the
date and time will also be
taken into note then
students will be marked
present in that period.

RESULTS
1) Complete Circuit
The above image display all the components connected to Arduino Uno.
2) Initial Stage
The message “Welcome To Bio-Thenticaiton” will be displayed by the LCD Screen.
3) Registration Process
This process will prompt user to enter their Registration No. and then will ask them to place
their finger and send confirmation message.
4) Verification Process
The device will ask the user to place their finger in order to verify their presence and if the
application is of attendance then the server will send a message that the user is been marked
present.
CONCLUSION
Various concepts were learned and workings of different devices were known which
before this project we were completely unaware. This project also helped us
implement our theory knowledge in practical world electronics. It also increased
our understanding in electronics field. Hereby we conclude that the goal of the
project which was to build a working prototype of the portable Bio-verification
system is achieved. This prototype was able to send the data to particular database
and was able to receive appropriate response. Both the processes namely
Registration and Verification worked according to the desired needs. The
server-side coding was done using node.js and server was established using services
provided by Heroku and MongoDB Database was established using mlabs.
FUTURE SCOPE
This project can be customized according to the needs of the particular
organization. An entire personnel management system can be built around the
central theme of the project. The device can be finger-print protected so that no
one misuses this device. Multiple keys can be added so that different kind of data
other than Unique Identification Number can be entered about a personnel and
this data can be sent to the database of the organization. The concept of the
project may not be limited only to organization but can also be expanded to
various applications like they can be used in local shops were the amount of the
items purchased can be paid to vendor through one-scan of your finger-print were
money is transferred from your bank account to the vendor’s account.
That’s IT
