ABSTRACT

Biometrics can be seen as a solution to a lot of the user identification and security problems in
todays networks. Reliable personal recognition is critical to many business processes.
Biometrics refers to Automatic Recognition of an individual based on their behavioral and/or
physiological characteristics. Biometrics removes human error from the security equation.
Fingerprint identification is one such method in biometrics.

Steps involved in Finger print identification:

Finger Print enrollment.
Enrolled user places his/her Finger on the Finger sensor for checking
IN/OUT (Authentication).
The terminal compares live finger with the finger stored on built-in Memory and checks
for a match.
When a match is found the Authentication is successful and the user is given access. Our
project will deal with the enrollment of a new user under a master mode of operation.
Authentication of the users is also done and once it is successful a gate
is opened by means of an interfaced DC motor.
