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. 3

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. 4

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. 5

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… 6

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. 7

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 8

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. 9

RESULTS  To build my system it costs a total of $  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. 12

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. 13

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 14
