    This paper describes in detail the design, manufacturing and testing of an embedded iris scanner for use with a multifactor authentication system. The design process for this project included hardware design from part selection to board design to populating. Additionally, this process included the entirety of the software development, though the iris recognition process was largely based on other works. The functional requirements for the overall multi-factor authentication system were to have three authentication methods with a thirty second window to complete all three. The system acceptance accuracy was required to be greater than 75%. Those requirements therefore dictate that the iris scanner module must also have an acceptance accuracy higher than 75% and perform iris recognition in a few seconds so that the user can gain admittance in the allotted window of time. While the hardware has been verified and tested, further development and testing is necessary on the software and image processing. This work is funded by the Department of Energy’s Kansas City National Security Campus, operated by Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC under contract number DE-NA0002839

    Biometrics-Unique and Diverse Applications in Nature, Science, and Technology provides a unique sampling of the diverse ways in which biometrics is integrated into our lives and our technology. From time immemorial, we as humans have been intrigued by, perplexed by, and entertained by observing and analyzing ourselves and the natural world around us. Science and technology have evolved to a point where we can empirically record a measure of a biological or behavioral feature and use it for recognizing patterns, trends, and or discrete phenomena, such as individuals' and this is what biometrics is all about. Understanding some of the ways in which we use biometrics and for what specific purposes is what this book is all about

    Design and Development of a Fingerprint Based Exam Hall Authentication System

    Fingerprint exam hall authentication system is a system designed to allow valid users to the exam hall and block invalid users after their fingerprint scan authentication. This system offers an alternative solution to conventional paper type exam authentication. Besides, this system can also be utilized as an attendance system by storing and comparing the database of the students. Traditional paper type exam authentication and attendance list is sometimes regarded as unreliable due to paper lost or proxy attendance system. This system has been running with a R305 fingerprint scanner module and an ATmega328P microcontroller main board connected with several inputs/outputs. Barrel type push buttons are the inputs and LCD, buzzer and solenoid are the outputs used in the design. The system can be operated by push buttons or using Android app to control several operations such as fingerprint enrollment, verification and deletion. The Android app operates in similar way wirelessly by connecting to Bluetooth module but it has additional feature such as student attendance databases management and storing as well as PDF file export. The design can be operated as standalone and handheld method with both hardware and Android app is successfully implemented by using the prototype

    Implementation of the Enhanced Fingerprint Authentication in the ATM System Using ATmega128 with GSM Feedback Mechanism

    ATM was introduced to boost the cashless policy in Nigeria. Current trend of Cybercrime facilitate the need for an enhanced fingerprint application on ATM machine with GSM Feedback mechanism. The mechanism enable unassigned fingerprint authentication of customers with quick code and secret code. The project enhances the security authentication of customers using ATM. A core controller using fingerprint recognition system of ATmega128 in-system programmable flash is explored. An SM630 fingerprint module is used to capture fingerprints with DSP processor and optical sensor for verification, using AT command of GSM module for feedback text messaging (i.e. sending of Quick and Secret-Codes respectively). Upon system testing of capable reduction of ATM fraud using C program, the new method of authentication is presented

    Hardware-Software Co-Design for Fingerprint Biometric Identification

    Get PDF
    This paper describes the design of a specific architecture for fingerprint identification based on a hardware-software co-design. This work summarizes the main stages involved in a classical fingerprint feature extraction algorithm. The paper proposes a hardware-software partitioning based on a profiler deduced from the execution of the whole algorithm running in a Pentium 1.7 GHz
