 ABSTRACT

RFID Authentication system is specialized in specific automation

requirements of an institution and in the application of automation techniques for the
comfort and security of the students . Each student is identified and authorized using their
RFID identification. There will be RFID Authentication Module at the entrance and exit
of each and every room of the institution. If student has to enter a room, it is necessary
that they should be authenticated using the RFID Authentication system.. The access to
the class room and lab will be given only if student has the permissions provided by the
Administrator. If correct access occurs, the code of the student entering the room will be
stored into the database of the main server. When a student enters a room the RFID
code of the student will be stored to a server machine which accesses this data and stores
the student code in a corresponding table for that particular room. If any student is to be
located ,then by giving the student code , the room in which the student is ,can be known.
It also helps in virtual class room environment too, where there is no need of a particular
staff to monitor the students in and out. With this project we can keep track of the student
attended the class without any manual help, ie each student get in time and out time from
a class or from any section.

Bar codes on membership cards in library could be replaced with RFID

Authentication system. The RFID Authentication system holds the promise of allowing
patrons to check out all their materials at once by swiping the pile of books over an
electronic reader. By increasing self check-out, library management believes it can boost
staff efficiency and dedicate more time to serving patrons away from checkout lines.
RFID system emits a low-range radio frequency that can be picked up by a specially
designed scanner. The scanner can only read the code for the library material. To connect
the code to the actual book title, the code would have to be cross-referenced with the
library’s catalog.
