Development of Biometric Fingerprint Authentication System in AOU -Bahrain

Abstract

Main objective of this research is to develop the existing fingerprint authentication system implemented in AOU

Bahrain which automatically uses only fingerprints matching between measured & reference template minutia stored in

database for validating identity of employee. Modified Employee authentication System suggest adding more security

measures which are facial and smart card (RFID tag) to be scanned by car park barrier sensor when employee entering and

leaving car park also same smart card to be swiped in case employee entering & leaving university by walking in order to

increase system security. Modified system is designed to ensure that the organization is equipped with the high level of

human resource tracking for each separate department of the organization. The main feature of Employee authentication

System is time tracking for employees. The system is integrated and implemented with biometric facial & fingerprint

features that identifies certain or specific employee as well as possess of smart card. The system can be accessible from

remote network. The developed system also includes the employee fingerprint and facial verification, employee

attendance, employee tracking, employee leave, and salary payment modules. The operational activities of the system are

accessed or controlled by IT service department, also the research work is concerned with the study of security & errors of

actual existing biometric fingerprint authentication system implemented in AOU Bahrain compared to suggested modified

combined method which implements fingerprint, facial and smart card (RFID tag).
