INTRODUCTION
• In this modern world, it has become a necessity to safe guard our
belonging such as wallet, personal documents etc. For this all over the
world, the people prefer to use Safe Lock system. The main advantage of
using password based locked system as compared to traditional key and
lock boxes or door lock is that, if the key is lost then it is difficult to safe
guard the items . But in the digital system, the password is used as the key,
which the user only knows. So, in this project, a digital safe lock mechanism
is created with the use of MSP430G2553 microcontroller, LCD, Keypad and
Servo Motor. The output status of the digital safe is displayed through LCD
screen. The user can input the password using keypad and the door
mechanism is created with the servo motor. If the user has input wrong
password, the buzzer will sound and LED will blink to indicate an alert.
• This introduction will briefly outline the key components and features of a
password-based lock system utilizing the MSP430:

• Title: Digital Safe Using MSP430G2553 Microcontroller Authors: Mohammad Abrar, Mohammad Adil,
Mohammad Imran Journal: International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical, Electronics and
Instrumentation Engineering (IJAREEIE) Year: 2019
• Summary:
• This article describes a digital safe using the MSP430G2553 microcontroller. The safe uses a keypad to input
the password and a servo motor to open and close the door. If the password is correct, the servo motor is
activated to open the door. If the password is incorrect, the servo motor is activated to close the door and an
alarm is sounded.
• The safe also has a security feature to prevent brute-force attacks. After three unsuccessful password attempts,
the safe will be locked for one minute.
• The digital safe is a more secure and convenient alternative to a traditional safe. It is also relatively inexpensive
to build and can be used in a variety of applications, such as homes, offices, and retail stores.

Kumari, K. Naveen Kumar, A. Srinivas Journal: International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical,
Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (IJAREEIE) Year: 2018
• Summary:
• This article describes a password-based door lock system using the Arduino microcontroller. The system uses a
keypad to input the password and a servo motor to lock and unlock the door. If the password is correct, the
servo motor is activated to unlock the door. If the password is incorrect, the servo motor is activated to lock the
door and an alarm is sounded.
• The system also has a security feature to prevent brute-force attacks. After three unsuccessful password
attempts, the system will be disabled for one minute.
• The password-based locking system using the Arduino microcontroller is a secure and reliable system for
locking and unlocking doors. It is also relatively inexpensive to build and can be used in a variety of applications.
• Current scenario/ Commercial Products
• There are a number of commercial password-based locking systems available on the market. These systems
typically use a keypad or a smartphone app to input the password and a servo motor or solenoid to lock and
unlock the door.

Methodology
• The methodology for designing and implementing a password-based locking system using the MSP430
microcontroller is as follows:
1. Identify the hardware components required. This includes the MSP430 microcontroller, a keypad, a servo motor
or solenoid to lock and unlock the door, and an alarm (optional).
2. Design the circuit diagram. This involves connecting the hardware components to the MSP430 microcontroller.
3. Write the firmware for the MSP430 microcontroller. This firmware will be responsible for reading the password
from the keypad, comparing it to the stored password, and locking or unlocking the door accordingly.
4. Assemble the circuit and test the system
PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE CIRCUIT
The main component in the circuit is msp430 microcontroller. In this project, a 4 x 4 matrix keypad is used to enter the
password. The password which is entered is compared if this data matched to the database, then the system opens the
door by rotating door motor and displays the status of door on LCD. If the password is wrong, then the lock is remains
closed and displays PWD is wrong on LCD.
• The password-based locking system using the MSP430 microcontroller works on the following principle:
1. The user enters the password using the keypad.
2. The MSP430 microcontroller reads the password from the keypad and compares it to the stored password.
3. If the password is correct, the MSP430 microcontroller activates the servo motor or solenoid to unlock the door.
4. If the password is incorrect, the MSP430 microcontroller activates the alarm (optional).

Novelty of the project
• The novelty of a password-based locking system using the MSP430 microcontroller lies in the specific
implementation. For example, a researcher could develop a system that uses a combination of password and
biometric authentication, or a system that uses a decentralized authentication system.
