This document discusses an RFID-based access control and student attendance management system. It uses RFID cards and a PIC microcontroller for user authentication. After validation, the user's entry time is logged to a database. Administrators can generate reports on student attendance. The system provides secure access control while monitoring entries and exits at access points.

1. RFID Based Access Control And Students
Attendance Management System
For companies where security is vital and access to certain
areas must be controlled and monitored, there should be an
access control system that allow companies to manage and
monitor all access points and locks, allowing for auditable
security and quick responses to any security breaches.
When we consider about Security the distinct ways are
Authentication, Authorization and Access Control.
Authentication is any process by which you verify that someone
is who they claim they are. This can be of any method of
demonstrating identity, such as a smart card, retina scan etc.
Authentication is equivalent to showing your drivers license at
the ticket counter at the airport.
Authorization is finding out if the person, once identified, is
permitted to have the resource. This is usually determined by
finding out if that person is a part of a particular group, if that
person has paid admission, or has a particular level of security
clearance. Authorization is equivalent to checking the guest list at
an exclusive party, or checking for your ticket when you go to
the opera.

2. Finally, access control is a much more general way of talking
about controlling access to a resource. Access can be granted or
denied based on the privillages granted to him. Access control is
analogous to locking the gate at closing time, or only letting
people onto the ride who are more than 48 inches tall - it's
controlling entrance by some arbitrary condition which may or
may not have anything to do with the attributes of the particular
visitor.
Attendance management:
Here, in our project we have used an RFID Card Reader,
Keypad and a PIC Micro controller (PIC16F877) for authentication
of a person. The data from the RFID Reader is transmitted to a
remote computer through a Wireless RF Transmitter.
An RF Receiver Which is connected to a computer determines the
authorization and Access control rights.
After The validation process is over, The user will be
allowed to enter the premises and his entry date and time is
marked into the database. Using Vb software we can generate
reports like how many days the students are present and much
more.
All user access information is gathered by a central PC-
based workstation where the administrators can retrieve and
analyze the information.

3. THE 125 KHZ RFID CARD
The card used in our project is a passive Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) device for low-frequency applications (100 kHz-400
kHz). The device is powered by rectifying an incoming RF signal from the
reader. The device requires an external LC resonant circuit to receive the
incoming RF signal and to send data. The device develops a sufficient DC
voltage for operation when its external coil voltage reaches approximately
10 Vpp.
This device has a total of 128 bits of user programmable memory and
an additional 12 bits in its configuration register. The user can manually
program the 128 bits of user memory by using a contact less programmer.
The device is a One-Time Programmable (OTP) integrated circuit and
operates as a read-only device after programming.
