Abstract

There are several access control systems available in the market, which uses different mechanisms to authenticate the users. Passwords, cards with barcode, card with magnetic systems and signature are the traditional mechanisms used in access control systems. Also there are lots of modem techniques used for recognizing people in existing systems. Some of them are finger prints, retina recognition, ear recognition, voice recognition, hand geometry recognition etc ... In all those systems there are some drawbacks. In finger print recognition, finger print can be copied & can be misused, retina recognition requires expensive high quality camera, ear recognition is difficult to implement.
