Paper Details

Banks provide locker system for their customers for safekeeping. In traditional methods, every time acustomer wishes to access his locker, he must wait until a banker becomes free, so that he can give access to the lockerafter signing certain registers. It results in wastage of time for both the banker as well as the customer. The customer hasto wait until the banker becomes free and the banker has to stop his work and attend to the customer. There are chancesto loose the keys.The next locker system access further developed, where password were required to access the locker. But there arechances that the password may be forgotten or stolen by third party.The latest are the smart cards. To access the locker, it is required to swipe the card & enter the security code which isunique for every user, every time. There are chances that the card may be lost or stolen.To overcome the all above drawbacks, Biometric methods of authentication came into existence. It includes facerecognition, fingerprints, palm, iris, etc. Face recognition, fingerprint & palm has less security as it can be duplicated.But iris has high security as it cannot be stolen or copied. Even the left & right iris of a human being are different. Itdoes not require any password to remember. So iris detection is the most reliable & secured way of authentication.Smart Vault System is based on iris recognition. In this prototype, when the person enters, iris detection is takes place. Ifthe person is authorized, locker number is sent from PC via RF transmitter to the robot. At the other side when robotreceives the person’s locker number. Then depending on the locker number, stepper motor does its operation & picks upthe particular locker & the user can access that locker.
