Smart Door System Prototype with a Control Based on Biometric Palmprint and the Internet of Things

Abstract

Safety is important in terms of comfort and security in a home, because a house is a place where people live and store valuable items. However, conventional keys that are widely used today are still vulnerable to break-ins. Therefore, a reliable and qualified security system is needed to safeguard a person’s home. To overcome this problem, this study proposed a security system to access the door of a house to maintain the home’s security. This door access security system is based on Palmprint, in which a certain line on a person’s palm is used to open the door and gain access into the house. Palmprint is supported by the Internet of Things system so that residents can remotely control and access the door lock. The use of biometric authentication will replace a conventional key so that the door will only be opened if the lines on the palm of the hand can be identified in accordance with the data registered by the owner. If a burglary occurs or if the lock is forced, the system will notify the residents of the house through their Palmprint application. The results show that the network system works optimally in the Line of Sight scenario with a distance of 5 meters, and it produces a data delay measuring 0.255436 s; moreover, a throughput of 8825,933 bytes/s is obtained from end-to-end testing of the total system in the 5 meter Line of Sight scenario with a total average delay of 0.570077 s and an average throughput of 11776.27 bytes/s.
