Systems

3 of 27
Paper Based Attendance System
● Time consuming
● Tedious and cumbersome
● Prone to proxy
● Headcount required
● Inefficient
● Wastage of paper

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
Based System
● Expensive
● Prone to proxy
● Not easy for operator
● Can not be directly controlled by operator
● Problematic if card is lost or forgotten

User Authentication
● Professor will be provided with a unique username
and password.
● Professor will get authenticated and directed to the
next screen.
● All students add their fingerprint during registration.
● Lecture is activated by professor.

11 of 27
Marking Attendance
● Once the lecture is activated, students’ fingerprint is
scanned.
● Failure can occur due to:
○ Failure to enroll rate (FTE): depends on the functionality of
the system
○ Failure to capture (FTC): occurs due to poor quality inputs
● Once successfully scanned, fingerprint is verified and
attendance is marked.

Security Threats
Application can be attacked by:

● Viruses
● Worms
● Trojans
● Spyware
● Ransomware

Damage
● Identity theft
● Information extortion
● Sabotage
● Exploitation of vulnerable databases

Counter-measures
● Databases are one of the most compromised assets
● Bringing the system offline
● Deploying and upholding a strict access and privileges control
policy

Capacity expansion
● 4-5 fingerprints storage
● Rooting can provide capacity expansion
● Rooting allows Android OS to attain privileged control
over various Android subsystems
● We have used Root Genius
● Malware installed can destroy system

Conclusion
● Fingerprint acquisition and attendance management
module implemented through Android application.
● Better performance than other traditional recording
methods in terms of time consumption, proxy resistance,
efficiency and ease of operation.
● Moreover, it supersedes the other systems by being
eco-friendly and inexpensive.
