A Review on IoT and Fingerprint Based Door Locking System

Abstract

The main idea of this paper is to suggest two ways for unlocking a door using Internet of Things (IoT) and Fingerprint. Security has always been a major concern for the households and the office environment, and for this concern various approaches are in place to address the problem. Most of the major door lock security systems have several loopholes which could be broken down to gain access to the desired places, and it creates a concern for a secure lifestyle and proper working environment[2]. Additionally, terrorism and unauthorized access to places have become a major issue now-a-days, and there is a need for a secure system to prevent unauthorized access especially in shared access environment. Recently, research on IoT systems for smart buildings has been attracting increasing attention[2]. Today, Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising solutions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system, combination of embedded controllers, sensors, software‘s and network. After internet and mobile communication the development of IoT can support a variety of applications including Intelligent Art, Intelligent Logistics, Intelligent Medicine & Healthcare, Intelligent Transportation, Intelligent Power, Smart Life etc[9]. The Internet is a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks. There are several ways that enable us to access the Internet. Technology is keep improving, method to access the Internet also increase. People can access Internet services by using their cell phone, laptop and various gadgets. IoT allows a number of objects that have been embedded with wired or wireless communication interfaces to automatically communicate and interact with each other[9]. The Internet is a technology that has greatly enhanced our lives. Fingerprint is a reliable biometric feature having a wide range of applications that require authentication[3]. Biometric systems such as fingerprint provide tools to enforce reliable logs of system transactions and protect an individual’s right to privacy.
