Online Smart Ration Card System with Multifactor Authentication

Abstract

In this paper, the online smart ration card system with multifactor authentication techniques has been proposed to prevent from ration forgery. Multiple factors like biometric (fingerprint technique), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), color code sequences and SMS entry way are used to keep the ration fraud. In this framework, a RFID tag is utilized that conveys relative points of interest and the client needs to show this tag at the ration shop or at his/her place before getting the ration. The user will need to give thumb impression on the biometric machine to verify if user is authentic or not. Additionally, before placing an order the user has to provide preferences of color code sequences as provided by the user during registration. Thus, the user ‘s authenticity is verified using multiple factors thereby increasing the security of the overall system. Apart from traditional approach of visiting and then collecting the ration, a novel approach has been introduced here where the authenticated user can demand the ration online and receive it at their specified location(Eg: Home address). In this paper, we present a brief introduction to Ration Distribution system using Smart card with increased usability and security of the overall system.
