Automated User Authentication Using Radio Frequency Identification for Standalone Workstations

In Information Technology (IT) sector, the demand of technical work and new smart technologies increasing day by day and we all know that in order to manage all work, important files, data, research, documentation, teaching, software designing, automation tools, algorithms, etc, we need a computer to serve this purpose responsibly. Serving such great operations that involves high confidentiality and security, it is a big concern to look forward for data and information security, as it can be extremely vulnerable to exploitation of data and resources once get into wrong hands. Whether it is College, Hospitals, Workstations, Cybercafé, Corporates, Companies, Teaching hubs, etc there is a need to let people have access to computer’s credentials and operate it by their side. The concern here is that if someone get to know about PC’s password as it is been provided by admins, the person then has full access to the system and can exploit it in many ways, by changing password of PC, or access C drive and make changes in it, delete some important protected file or can do any mischief into system. In order to prevent such mischief and taking one step ahead into security of system A smart Pc Login System is required that can solve this problem in efficient manner. In the direction to solve this issue A Smart RFID based Login System is designed in such a manner that there is no need to provide actual password to the user, rather there is only need to scan the respective RFID card into the Scanner and PC will login automatically. This will restrict the user to play with system’s password and whenever the user play any mischief the pc will ask for password to enter that user will not know. This will enhance the system security and provide protection to valuable data. This system only needs an Arduino Uno R3, RFID scanner, and RFID cards. This will make the system affordable and valuable.
