A Robust Student Attendance Monitoring System using NFC Technology and Biometrics

Abstract

In most of the colleges across the globe, an efficient and authenticated attendance monitoring system for students has not been developed yet. In this paper, we are proposing a non-intrusive system wherein students can record their attendance by providing their fingerprint while they are seated in their places. This system makes use of NFC enabled smart phones, NFC tags, a biometric fingerprint scanner App and Wi-Fi for storing the attendance online. It provides authentication of students and security of data. Secure session is maintained by NFC tags using encryption. The lecture time can be saved since no manual attendance is required.
