  3. MOTIVATION • RFID based door systems are used world-wide in a variety of industries. • Problem is they aren’t as secure as people think. • Someone can steal a valid RFID card and gain access. • Or someone could clone someone’s valid RFID card. • I wanted to find a way to make RFID based door systems more secure.

  4. INTRODUCTION • I’ve always been interested in RFID technology. • After a little research I found a problem in one area of RFID technology implementation. • RFID card reader based door systems aren’t very secure. • Anyone with a little common sense could find a way in through a door using traditional RFID based systems. • All they RFID reader based door systems on the market are basically the same.

  5. INTRODUCTION • I set out to design a system to fix this security issue. • I wanted to develop a custom RFID card reader door system with an Arduino.

  6. PROBLEM STATEMENT • RFID card reader based door entry systems are insecure. • This gives people using these systems a false sense of security. • It provides a possible entry-point for criminals…

  7. ASSUMPTIONS • People assume that RFID based entry systems are expensive. • That these systems are hard to install, implement or manage. • The system I designed can be installed at a residence, business or warehouse. • My system cost about ten times less than commercially available systems. • This system does require someone to have knowledge about electronics and how they operate. • You also need to have some understanding or experience programming with C++, C, Java and HTML.

  8. PROPOSED SOLUTION • List steps taken to solve the problem such as but not limited to: • Research RFID systems and how they work. • Research Arduino microcontrollers. • Design an RFID based system with an Arduino microcontroller. • Finding reasonable resources to obtain hardware needed for this project. • Writing custom code for Arduino. • Configuring hardware and software. • Troubleshooting issues with hardware/software. • Testing in a real-world environment. • Verifying results

  9. PROPOSED SOLUTION • My system uses an IP cam to let the other person see who’s on the other side of the door. • Then they can make a decision to either unlock the door, lock the door or to sound an alarm. • This system is available over the internet and can be seen from any where in the world with an internet connection. • This allows for being able to control the door remotely.

  11. PROPOSED SOLUTION

  12. RESULTS • To build my system it costs a total of $315.89 • Most RFID based entry systems can costs thousands of dollars. • My system adds another layer of authentication that involves interaction from a human to identify the person trying to access the door. • This two-factor form of security makes my system superior to other similar systems.

  13. CONCLUSIONS • This project proposes a viable and practical solution to the security flaws with most available RFID based door systems. • Before starting this project I couldn’t tell you what an Arduino even was. • My understanding of electronics, microcontrollers and my programming skills in C++, C, Java and HTML have improved tremendously.

  14. FUTURE WORK • This project could be customized in many ways. • Due to the limitations of the Arduino because of it’s small amount of memory and limited processing power, I would look for a better microcontroller. • I would recommend moving away from the Arduino microcontroller and implementing the Raspberry Pi. • This project can be scaled up to incorporate multiple doors and cameras. • Thank you for watching this presentation. • If you have questions, comments or suggestions, you can send them to me at tommy_long22@mymail.eku.edu
