DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FINGER PRINT

CONTROLLED DOOR

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Security has become a pre-requisite in virtually every organization ranging from

small to large organizations. There is a need for development of a standard security

protocol to checkmate problems that could occur due to the absence of security

features. As the number of theft and intrusion cases increases, there has been a

need for firms to develop a security system that can deny or grant access for only

authorized individuals into some specific areas.

Normally, this can be done manually whereby a human worker could be placed to

give or deny access to people. This can be dangerous as humans and can be

unfaithful.

The project “Design and implementation of a finger print controlled door’’ is

considered to have solved some of the problems existing. Some of the solutions to

these problems are as follows;

Provide restricted access to certain areas in an organization

Minimize the problems of insecurity of life and property

Provide an alternative to a security worker

Provides a reliable, efficient and more modern access system for security

Save time and energy in checking for authorized persons and equally in

opening and closing door.

1

In the design, different workers have different passwords with which they can gain

access through the door. The door is interfaced to the computer through a printer

cable.

This design focuses its attention on the use of parallel port and visual basic.net

software for the programming of the software.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Checking in and checking out of people in all most every organization in

Nigeria and some other developing country has been done manually.

This design is being considered based on this event that has been taking place

all the while. This present method of checking in and out of people has

constituted a lot of problems which has been highlighted in the introduction

part of this study. Those days are gone where we hire few people for security

at our offices, home and other sensitive places. In this hard economy time we

have to think about something smarter which can save our money and can

also provide better security. Finger print scanning is a form of security where

people are identified by a scan that analyses the blood vessels at the back of

the hand. Finger Print scan security usually involves a low-intensity light

source and optical coupler, which read the blood vessels with accuracy.

Finger Print patterns are difficult to fake and even the Finger Print of a dead

person will change soon after they have died. Finger Print scans prove

identity in a way which few other security measures can. Finger Print scan

technology involves the use of small green light to record the Finger Print

patterns of a person and ensure they match up with the finger print patterns of

those people who are allow access. This green light contains a low-intensity

light source. The user needs to keep their head still and keep their fingers

focused on the green light for about ten seconds. During this time, the finger

2

print scanner will read the pattern of the finger print2.It is on this background

that we carry out our design.

1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

.There are a lot of problem in the present method with which different organization

or companies check in people into the restricted areas, some companies biometric

measurements are taken from the fingers of the guests to ensure that the person’s

ticket is used by the same person from day to day. but in this study we are also

using finger print that why our objective of embarking on this study is to help solve

some of these problems and make security more tighter by the help of Finger Print

controlled door. Some of our aims of achievement include the following.

The objectives include the following:

Finger Print scan provide restricted access to certain areas in the

organization.

Finger Print scan make sure that only the authorized persons gain access into

the company.

To reduce cost of employing workers who will always keep watch at the

door.

To improve the level of security.

1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The present method of checking on people in an area has left many companies with

problems to solve. “The design of a password -controlled door using the finger

print is so important to the society for many reasons but not just for an organization

in the sense that doors and gates at individual homes will only recognize finger

3

print patterns of only residents of the building thereby reducing theft and irregular

burgling of home.

Furthermore, this design will reduce the cost of employing workers at that will

keep watch at the door and will equally check in and out people in the

organization. This design will help solve the problem of admitting unauthorized

persons into an organization .It is easier to disarm the security worker and gain

entrance into a restricted area and then it is illicitly manipulate the purposed

design.

1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY

This design is restricted to the use of the finger print in accessing a door to a

particular place. There are many ports of the computer that can be used in

interfacing but this design makes use of a parallel port. There are also many

programming languages that can be used to program the hardware but our design is

based on the use of the visual basic.net.

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY.

This study has to make use of security worker in the design but it has not been

possible for us to get this as a result of unavailability of materials in the market; as

a result of this, we are doing the construction ourselves.

The study need to be done with construction of this hardware component that will

make use of the software system but due to the lack of resources and time frame

we are limited to the simulation of the software system only.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 HISTORY OF DOORS

The earliest records are those represented in the paintings of the Egyptian tombs in

which they shown as single nor double doors, each in a single piece of wood .in

Egypt where the climates is intensely dry, there would be no fear of their warping,

but in other countries it would b necessary to frame them, which according to

Vitruvius (.IV.6) was done with stiles and rails the spaces enclosed being filled

with panels (tympana) let into groups made in the stiles and rails. The styles were

the vertical boards, one of which, tenure or hanged, is known as the hanging stile.

The other as the middle or meeting stile. The horizontal cross pieces are the top

rail, bottom rail, and middle or intermediate rails. The most ancient doors were in

timber, those made from King Solomon’s temple being in olive wood (1 kings

vi.31-35), which were carved and overlaid with gold. The doors dwelt upon in

homers epics would appear to have been cased in silver or brass besides olive

wood, elm, cedar, oak and cypress were used.

According to Thomasi Gioachino Lanzi and Angela Zalapi (1980), the ancient

Greek and Roman doors were either single doors, double doors, sliding doors or

folding doors, in the last case the leaves were hinged and folded back. In

Eumachia, is a painting of a door with three leaves. In the tomb of thereon at

agrigentum there is a single four-panel door carved in stone.

Kostoff, spiro (1989) says; in the church of SS Cosmas and Damiano in Rome, are

important examples of roman metal work of the best period; they are in two leaves,

each with two panels, and are framed in bronze. Those of the pantheon are similar

5

in design, with narrow horizontal panels in addition, at the top-bottom and middle.

Two other bronze doors of the Roman period are in the Lateran Basilica.

Rybezynski withhold in (1995) held that, of the 11th and 12th centuries there are the

numerous examples of bronze doors, the earliest being the one designed at

Hildesheim on Germany in the year (1015) of others in south Italy and Sicily, the

following are the finest: in Sant Andrea, Amalfi (1060): Salerno (1099); Canosa

(1111); Troia, two doors (1119 and 11224); Ravello (1179), by Barisano of Trani,

who also made doors for Trani cathedral; and in Monreale and Pisa cathedrals, by

Bonano of Pisa.

O’Gorman James (1986) posited that the exact period when the hinge was

substituted is not quite known, but the change i.e. the introduction of the hinge to

doors brought about another method of strengthening and decorating doors, with

the wrought iron bands of infinite varieties of design. As a rule three bands from

which the ornamental work springs constitute the hinges, which have rings outside

the hanging stiles fitting on to vertical tenons run into the masonry or wooden

frame. There is an early example of the 12 th century in Lincoln; in France the metal

work of the doors of Notre Dame at Paris is perhaps the most beautiful in

execution, but examples are endless throughout France and England.

In the renaissance period, the Italian doors were quite simple, their architects

trusting more to the doorways for effects; but in France and Germany the case was

contrary.

The French and the Germans made sure their doors were elaborately carved,

especially in the era of Louis XIV and Louis XV periods, and sometimes with

architectural features such as columns and entablatures with pediment and niches,

the doorway being in plain masonry. While in Italy, the tendency was to give scale

6

by increasing the number of panels. The French made one of the greatest doors at

that time which was called the door of Fontainebleau, which is in two leaves, is

entirely carried out as if consisting of one great panel only.

In England in the 17th century the door panels raised with projecting modules or

bolection sometimes richly carved round them; Also, in the 18th century the

moldings worked on the stiles and rails were carved with the egg and tongue

ornament.

According to Gerchenfeld, Neil A.(1989), in the 20th century, Stack Jurgen

invented an electromechanical operated door having a control and regulation

system. The door was driven by an electric motor and sensors controlling the

movement of the door. The control and regulation system of the door was equipped

with a microprocessor control and provided for signal and command processing.

The design is relevant to both the mechanical and electrical design of the thesis

project, which gives idea of the whole system design.

2.2 ORIGIN OF COMPUTERIZED DOORS

The first case of the authorized automatic door opener was registered in the late 60’s. One day in the late 60’s a quadriplegic asked an engineer friend of his to modify his van so he might be able to drive it. The engineer went to work on the request and successfully converted the van so his friend could safely drive himself. The friend was so pleased at his newly founded independence that he asked if it was possible to design a unit to automatically open and close the door to his house- and the result was the computerized door opener, designed by Stark Jurgen of

Power Access Inc.USA, installed in 1967 in Denver, Colorado USA.

2.3 History Of Biometric Doors

Bimetric Door Lock s – Over time the particular advancement associated with doorway and locking mechanism security may be enhanced thanks to advances inside engineering. Criminals as well as criminals constantly reckon of fresh ways to penetrate a home or perhaps a building. You must stay updated using the most recent security breakthroughs unless you want to turn out to be vulnerable to unwanted site visitors.

Instead of using a standard locking mechanism and key, everybody is today promoting digital front door locks. Its not necessary an vital to penetrate or depart your home if you are using this type of lock. An electronic digital doorway locking mechanism simply needs a PIN program code, a digital vital, the smack card, or perhaps a handheld diffident control. You can use this door freeze the house or perhaps a industrial making. That way, it’s not necessary to worry about bringing or losing the tips any longer.

The obvious advantage of electronic digital door hair is that you could limit the folks that get into your home with no actual vital. You are able to find the few public that will get access to a pin number or perhaps key greeting card thus they will be the sole types who are able to get into, for instance family members and even reliable friends. Digital locking mechanism is such well loved inside a business setting because only the workers as well as staff may penetrate in the constructing. In draw a distinction to the original crucial, you cannot effortlessly copy a key greeting card. Some electronic tresses likewise use fiddle with prints which are extremely hard to copy.

A few years ago it had been routine to need to constantly make sure the doors after you’ve locked them with the tips each time you would certainly go out. Thanks to the engineering of electronic digital doorway locks now this is not the case because as soon when you abandon and also close the door, digital locking mechanism straight away protects everything. The doorway may also unlock automatically when you’re using the lock from inside. Failing to remember the keys is one area of history.

What are the results during a strength disappointment? Are you able to nonetheless penetrate and exit? Electronic digital doorway tresses are always equipped with battery power back-up so you can still use it even when there exists a energy interruption. The machine will certainly alarm if it is time for you to replace it.

8

Putting in an electronic door secure will certainly intimidate a potential robber or thief. Just the view than it will be passable to decrease the particular sly felony to reckon two times regarding entering your house or perhaps headquarters. Some of the high end tresses are designed to say you if someone else is attempting to eliminate the actual lock and obtain inside your home with out your acceptance. If you use a PIN to go in your material goods, the particular secure will burglar alarm in the consequence the not authorized particular self inputs the incorrect mixture for any particular variety of instances previously. Numerous designs even have a security function so that if you are incapable of all of a swift open your lock they may be built with a mechanical crucial override.

There are many kinds of electronic doorway hair. The most typical is the digital papan ketik secure, helping to make usage of any code or even mixture. You may also make use of digital vital credit card locks, which can be well-liked in business structures. Ultimately, the biometric door hair awards access via fiddle with print recognition. This really is one of the most protected options since each self features a unique fingerprint. A possible problem using this is that you need to media your hand correctly so the biometrics can read your fiddle with marks.

So if you are focused on price, don’t be concerned. The digital doorway locking mechanism just isn’t costly and you certainly will not repent setting up one out of your house. Having its aid, your house would have been a safer place to are now living in. A fingerprint lock works by scanning your fingerprint to identify its unique structure. If it matches a print which has already been programmed into the lock, access is granted in a matter of seconds. Biometric fingerprint locks of this nature require a power source, usually batteries such as AA or 9V.

Fingerprint locks offer more reliable security over traditional keyed locks; keys can be used by anyone and are small enough to be lost. Neither is right for fingerprints, which are completely unique and require a permitted self to be present to open a lock.

If you want several public (perhaps your family members and a trusted supporter, in case of emergency) to have access to your home, manifold keys are required. With a fingerprint door locks, you can program manifold users into your biometric lock (renowned as enrolling). A biometric lock can replace keypads in the headquarters as well.

2.4 ACCESS CONTROL

Access control is the ability to permit or deny the use of a particular resource, by

a particular entity. Access control mechanisms can be used in managing physical

resources(such as a movie theatre, to bank account, with a limited number of

people authorized to make a withdrawal),or digital resources(for example, a

private text document on a computer, which only certain users should be able to

read)

2.5 ELECTRONIC ACCESS CONTROL

This uses computer to solve the limitations of mechanical locks and keys. A

wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic

access control system grants access based on the credential presented. When

access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and the

transaction is recorded. When access is recorded refused, the door remains

locked and attempted access is recorded. The system will also monitor the door

and alarm, if the door is forced open, or held open too long after being unlocked.

2.6 ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION

When a credential is presented to a reader sends the credential’s information,

usually a number, to a control panel, a highly reliable processor. The control

panel compares the credential’s number to an access control list, grants or

denied based on access control list, the door remains locked. If there is a match

10

between the credential and the access control list, the control panel operates a

relay that in turn, unlocks the door. The control panel also ignores a door signal

to prevent an alarm. Often, the reader provides feedback such as a flashing red

LED for an access denied, and a flashing green LED for an access granted.

2.7 CONTROL SOFTWARE

The control software is a window program that may be installed on any

computer on the premises protected by the Access control system. It is used by

administrators to control various the features of the pass point Access control

system database. These features include;

Designating what time schedule each or a group of cardholders will be

allowed access to the premises or protected areas within

Keeping a permanent time record of all persons entering protected areas

Automatically unlocking specified areas at specified times

Disabling access permission to a specific card should it become lost or

due to revocation of the cardholder’s privilege

Structuring various levels of administration, password protected, to

control what administrating privileges are granted to each

2.8 COMPONENTS OF AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

Every access control system centers on the need to control individual ability to

gain access or egress through an entryway. An entryway may be an employee

entrance, parking gate, garage door, loading dock or any such barrier that can be

secured. The main parts of an access control system are as follows:

o Electric Strike

o Electric Lock-Set

Access Credentials

o Encoded Access Card

o Personal Identification Number (PIN)

o Biometric Attribute

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY

3.0 INTRODUCTION

Systems analysis is the detailed study of a system’s operation. This is normally

done to discover most problems associated with such system understudy. However,

the principal aim of system analysis to ensure proper execution of the right

decision taken.

Hence, systems analysis is to ensure and reveal major problem areas that should be

discarded. But once the basic operations that generated poor performance in the

system are determined, the tendency that the new system will produce the same

problem is highly reduced or minimized tremendously.

System analysis is conducted with the following objectives in mind;

I. Identify the user needs.

II. Evaluate the system concept for feasibility.

III. Perform economic and technical analysis.

IV. Allocate functions to hardware, software, people, database and other

13

system elements.

V. Create a system definition that forms the foundation for all subsequent

engineering work.

3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY.

The main reason for all analyses is to find what information the system should

manage, what fact to find and search for, how to find them, and how to record

them for usage. However, to execute these objectives, Structure Systems Analysis

and Design Methodology (SSADM) was used. SSADM is an internationally

accepted software engineering model. The various steps involved in the model are

as follows:

I. Problem Identification.

II. Feasibility Study.

III. System Analysis.

IV. System Design.

V. Program Coding.

VI. Program Testing.

VII. System Implementation.

VIII. Program Maintenance, and

14

IX. Documentation.

3.1.1 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION.

It was these problems identified the researcher to develop an enhanced and more

active system to overcome the shortcomings and drawbacks of the present system.

Hence, in identifying these problems, the researcher was able to clarify the new

system’s objectives and users, desired output, desired inputs and desired

processing.

3.1.2 FEASIBILITY STUDY.

During the process, investigations were thoroughly made in order to develop the

new system in sufficient depth. This done to enable the proposed system to provide

information that can justify its implementation, hence deciding if the new system is

feasible within the present budget.

However, the methods of data collection used in the course of finding the new

system’s feasibility include;

I. Oral interview

II. Website research

III. Library research.

15

3.1.3 SYSTEMS ANALYSIS

The requirements were analyzed and presented in the form of the specifications

document ‘‘the functionalities and capabilities of the product’’. This is also known

as the specification phase. The activity procedure is systematic and was presented

using Gane and Sarsan approach for flow of logical data.

3.1.4 SYSTEM DESIGN.

The specifications of the proposed system underwent two consecutive designs.

Architectural design and Detailed design processes. Architectural design process

allows the entire program to be broken down into components called modules.

Then, each of these modules in turn are designed, this is the detailed design. These

two resulting design documents describe ‘‘how the product performs its

operations’’.

Under the architecture, the High Level Model (HLM) was built around the Visual

Basic programming software which has objects as the front end and a database as

its back end.

3.1.5 PROGRAM CODING.

The logical requirements from flowcharts drawn from the proposed system were

translated into programming i.e. numbers, letters, and symbols that make up the

program source code.

To do this effectively, Visual Basic.Net was selected as an appropriated

programming language because of the objects implemented in the proposed

system.

16

3.1.6 PROGRAM TESTING.

After coding the program, alpha testing method which involves desk checking and

debugging of the new program was used to ensure that the program source codes

were free of errors. This is followed by beta testing method, in which real world

data are used to ensure the stability of the new system, and to ensure that the

expected outputs from the program are accurately achieved.

Testing involves running each module of the program with a few data in order to

detect any syntax, runtime or logical errors.

3.1.7 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION.

This is also known as programming-in-the-many. During this phase, the researcher

was able to document the users’ training and instructions on the changes the new

system will introduce in the area of information management and decision making.

3.1.8 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE.

The enhancement maintenance (software update) was used in the system. It

consists of changes to the specifications and the implementation of these changes.

This could be done either in each form or through the database.

3.1.9 DOCUMENTATION.

17

This was designed to fulfill the following basic functions;

I. To enable a user operate the program correctly, and

II. To enable another person to understand the program so that it may be

modified or corrected by another person, if necessary.

3.2 SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION.

There are basically two major sources used in collection of data for this project

work. They are;

I. Primary sources of data.

II. Secondary sources of data.

3.2.1 PRIMARY SOURCES OF DATA.

The primary data were collected through personal contacts and discussions with

one of the managers Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Abuja. An oral interview was

equally conducted with several security personnel at the office.

3.2.2 SECONDARY SOURCES OF DATA.

The secondary data were obtained from relevant books in the fields of Computer

Science and Engineering, Electrical / Electronic textbooks, internet.

3.3 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM.

In the existing system, security personnel are placed at the entrance and exits in

order to open and close the doors. They ensure that only authorized persons enter

18

the restricted areas. People can only gain access into these areas if they show proof

if authorization, like possession of identity cards, e.t.c.

Once a person comes, the security personnel check the person’s identity. If

authorized to gain entry, the person is allowed. Access is denied if the person does

not meet with the criteria for entry.

3.3.1 PROBLEMS OF THE EXISTING STSTEM.

The existing system has the following problems;

I. Access can be granted to the wrong person, probably as a result of

wrong identification.

II. The security personnel could be disarmed by an intruder.

III. Access can not be gained in absence of the security person in charge of

keys.

IV. The security worker could deliberately aid an unauthorized Person\ to

gain entrance.

5.4.2 DEBUGGING

This is the process of eliminating the errors or malfunctioning part that occurred

during testing. The error might be a syntax or logical.

5.4.3 THE TESTING PROCEDURE

The test procure refers to the procedure meant for testing. There are two methods

for testing namely:

Bottom up testing (which is used for the Implementation) and

Top down testing (which is used for the design of the program).

a) Bottom up testing- this testing starts from the unit, it proceeds with the

modules, then the subsystem and then finally the system.

36

b) Top down testing- this testing starts from the system, proceeds with the

subsystem, the modules and then the unit

5.4.4 FILE CONVERSION

In the system development, file conversion is a major part, also it involves fact

finding, data capturing, clerical procedure, design and even program specification.

It means the conversion of existing manual records, into a medium used by the

computer. This may involve the appropriate computer medium. Once fie has been

created, extensive checking for accuracy becomes essential otherwise problem may

occur when the system becomes operational.

5.4.5 CHANGEOVER PROCEDURES

This process changes from manual system to computerized system. These are

method of changing over. They include:-

a) Direct change over: this is a method that involves the system been completely

replaced by the new system in such that; there is an immediate changeover.

Program corrections are difficult while the new system has to remain

operational.

b) Parallel change over: this method involves both the manual and the

computerized system. They are operated concurrently for sufficiently long

period and their output compared periodically. The old system is discontinued if

the new system performs according to expectation. It has the new system to fall

back on in case the new system fails and the disadvantage is the cost of which

will achieve similar results.

37

c) Phase change over: in phase change over, the change start with a branch, the

effect of the new system in the sampled branch is observed before some other

section which may be more sensitive can adopt the new system.

d) Pilot change over: in this method, some transactions that are very complex

are operated using parallel change over and in the remaining section of the existing

system, direct change over is used. The researcher recommends the parallel

changeover to avoid drastic problems that may arise due to failure of a newly

developed system.

Therefore, parallel change over is recommended for this work.

5.5 COMMISSIONING

In order to make the system operational, the following steps have to be considered;

Obtain and install the hardware requirement.

Obtain and install the software requirement

Obtain and install anti-virus/utility software (which should be frequently

updated in order to remain active).

The new system is installed and ready for use.

38

CHAPTER SIX

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATION

6.0 SUMMARY

This project entails the critical analysis of a security system

in which access could be gained illicitly, owing the

system’s inefficacies.

After a thorough analysis of the existing system, a

computer controlled door using finger print, specially made

to highly restrict access was successfully designed.

new system is to implemented, taking into consideration the

various hardware and software required. If used impeccably,

according to the documented usage instructions, the system

enables restricted access to special offices and at the same

time eliminates the requirements of a door control manager.

6.1 CONCLUSION

Information technology is the order of the day, with its

applications spanning across virtually all the fields of

endeavours, Since its inception, IT has vehemently stamped

a convincing proof of its reliability, speed and at most,

39

optimum performance.

With this, it is highly recommendable to computerize

access control, considering the facts that computer

systems have proved to be consistent, accurate, reliable,

effective and most of all, unbiased.

6.2 RECOMENDATIONS

The following recommendation should be considered for

successful implementation of the new system, and to

enable the achievements of its design objectives.

1. Restriction to the site of the system

This limits the number of personnel that gain entrance into

the areas where the system is installed. This helps to

eliminate the problem of gradual vandalization of the

system components, by possible adversaries within.

2. Safeguarding of password

Passwords are to be issued to the various authorized

administrators in confidence and in the total absence of

outsiders.

Afterwards, it is the duty of the administrator to report to

40

the authorities, any suspicions of unauthorized persons,

unduly in possession of a password.

3. Conducive environment for the system

The system being computer based, should be installed in a conducive, well air-conditioned ,dust-free environment. Its location should also have constant electric supply,for its proper functioning.
