A secured automated Attendance Management System implemented with Secret Sharing Algorithm

Abstract

Attendance management system is always an important entity for any of the organization, a number of attendance system like barcode, RFID, finger-print recognition system are already available in the market. While various companies are using different types of attendance management system according to their budget and convenience. Few of the designed and adopted systems have their own drawbacks like data handling, data security and privacy of the information. In this pape, we have proposed and designed a secured attendance management system with Secret sharing algorithm. The main objective is to automate the attendance system and provide the complete authentic and secure database of all the employees or users. Due to Covid-19 maximum of the organizations are trying to adopt the attendance management system without any physical connectivity or manual intervention. Our proposed solution is the best feasible solution to handle the stated problems. Attendance can be marked by scanning the QR code with a mobile phone at distant locations while secret sharing security algorithm is providing the security by distributing the complete code into number of secret shares which can be only recovered by authentic entities so integrity and privacy of the information is maintained properly.
