Design and Implementation of NFC-based Staff Attendance Monitoring System

In today's dynamic work environment, efficient attendance management is crucial for organizational productivity. Traditional attendance systems often involve manual processes, leading to inaccuracies, time inefficiencies, and potential security concerns. This paper proposes an innovative solution—NFC[1] (Near Field Communication) based staff attendance system—to address these challenges. The NFC-based staff attendance system[2][3] leverages the capabilities of NFC[1] technology to streamline the attendance tracking process. Each staff member is provided with an NFC-enabled identification card, eliminating the need for manual sign-ins or cumbersome biometric systems. The NFC cards are easily scanned using NFC readers strategically placed at entry points. The implementation of the NFC-based staff attendance system presents several advantages, including improved efficiency, reduced administrative overhead, and enhanced security.

Medical records information system based on prototyping model using automatic identifier NFC card

Radio Frequency Identification is a compact wireless technology that is superior and has been developed in the commercial and educational for example in automatic identification in the hospital patient registration. This research aims to improve patient registration services to be more practical during outpatient registration at hospitals. Currently, hospital outpatient registration is still carried out semi-computerized where patients come to the reception desk and then register by filling in a registration form. Next, the reception staff performs data entry from the registration form that has been filled in by the patient. If a lot of patients come, there will be a queue of patients because it takes quite a long time for the registration process. Based on the problems faced, this research carried out the development of a patient data management system using NFC cards which contain patient medical record number data. When a patient visits the hospital, the patient taps the medical record card and inputs the complaint and the doctor they are going to, then the patient gets a queue number for consultation, until the patient consults with a doctor and gets the medicine prescribed by the doctor through the use of the system. Testing the system by reading and writing data on the NFC card on the card reader/writer unit, the test results showed that the maximum reading distance for the NFC card was 7 cm with a reading angle relative to the NFC reader/writer with 300 can read the NFC card.

Sistem Keamanan Kartu NFC Menggunakan Metode AES pada Sistem Pembayaran Elektronik

To maintain data security, a method is needed that can improve data security, one of which is by using cryptographic techniques. In an effort to meet the needs of data security, cryptography focuses on understanding and applying techniques to protect messages. There are several methods used in cryptography, one of which is the AES method which is recognized as the best encryption algorithm for several reasons, such as using a sufficiently secure key, high processing speed, and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. In this study, the AES method is used to secure data in the form of nominal balances stored on NFC cards. Based on the test results, it can be seen that the NFC card can function as a balance storage with a maximum limit of IDR 1,000,000. Then based on the confusion matrix method, the security system on the NFC card has an accuracy value of 81,81%, 83.3% precision, and 93,75% recall.

Patient identification system based on NFC and blockchain technology

Objective: To develop a system in the field of medicine that allows to identify patients by making use of security for NFC cards based on blockchain. Methodology: A study of the physical characteristics of NFC cards was carried out to design an external security system, supported by the decentralization of the blockchain, which allows the use of these cards in a field that handles highly sensitive information, such as medicine, in order to take advantage of the practicality of NFC technology when identifying patients in a hospital without exposing their medical history. Results: It was appreciated that the blockchain offers a lot of advantages in the field of security, but these advantages come with a decompensation in the times of writing new blocks and reading previous blocks. Conclusions: A system supported on a centralized and decentralized part provides greater security, however, a decentralized system such as the blockchain comes with a decompensation in terms of writing speed and, above all, reading speed.

Automation identifier approach for library management information system

Rapid technological developments provide benefits for library management. One of them is the application of automatic identifiers in library management, through RFID and QR Code implementation. Some problems that are faced by libraries at the moment, include the lack of guarantees for the safety management of books in the library, lack of services human resources library management, and book availability information has not been accurate. This research conducts the development of a library management information system to solve the problems by using automatic identifiers utilizing Near Field Communication and QR Code technology. The implementation scenario is each library member has the NFC Card and their personal information stored in the NFC card, also each book in the library is put with a QR Code label containing book code information. Transaction of book loan and book return are done by initially tapping NFC Card to record visitor returned or borrow the book and then continue to scanning QR Code label of each book borrowed or returned. In the final stage, the application tested by tapping the NFC card (RFID) on the reader/writer device, and it found the NFC Card could be read or record data from the device at a maximum of 7 cm, while testing phase conducted QR Code label could be read at a maximum distance of 40 centimeters from the device. Implementing automatic identifier help to manage transaction in library more accurate, improve services and provide added value for the library.

Student monitoring system with Face Authentication based on NFC

Even in the present time there are many of those in- stitution where the students record are been registered manually either to track hold of their information, to track their attendance or to check their actual presence . But these records are kept in the form of register basically a mere paper representation and then they are collected or registered to the data store if present. In these situations, there are likely to have some mismatch of the entry ,time consuming and tiresome to do, data loss even worst a proxy registration. With vast improvements in the face recognition technologies and algorithmic technique we can overcome this problem by combining these field with NFC cards. The NFC cards with unique id provided with each card, we are linking the students records such that the work in the manual process is reduced and each time a card is placed on the device it asks for user authentication reducing the proxy registration or mismatch entries. By collecting the students facial features as for the authentication purpose Haar-cascade , LBPH methodology is used to get better facial feature for recognition combined with Adaboost enhancing its efficiency and at last having a reliable storage using MySQL connector. With the Tkinter pacakage we can easily register the students required details by creating a GUI such that even a layman can register the details without any efforts.

Using Brain -Computer Interface to evaluate the User eXperience in interactive systems

ABSTRACT Electroencephalography is a technique, which allows to capture brain activity. Devices BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) are being used to evaluate the UX (User eXperience). We present a study where was designed an experiment using the OPENBCI device. The experiment consisted of capturing the brain activity to analyse the data of a group of people (women; men) when they interacted with a classic game called Snake. Therefore, the study designed two interaction ways. First interaction involved a traditional interaction with computer and keyboard. The second interaction involve the use of NFC cards and a mobile device. Also, were applied questionnaires, such as: SAM (Self-Assessment Manikin), NASA-TLX and SUS (System Usability Scale), to compare the information recollected through of the BCI, which consistency with the data was reflected.

Overcoming Catch Data Collection Challenges and Traceability Implementation Barriers in a Sustainable, Small-Scale Fishery

The seafood sector faces both socioeconomic and environmental sustainability challenges, as well as pressure to demonstrate progress from governments, NGOs, retailers, and consumers. To document data elements necessary in verifying key sustainability attributes and fishery progress, the sector needs to implement traceability systems accessible to fishers and other vulnerable near-shore actors. Implementation must overcome a suite of technological, social, and economic barriers. We assessed and reviewed the efficacy of several approaches attempted in a Philippines yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) fishery. The current prevailing approach is a centralized, analog method of catch recording, both broadly across the Philippines and specifically in this MSC-certified fishery, where they have implemented enumerator-facilitated catch certificate recording. The fishery has begun developing, testing, and piloting new decentralized digital models, including NFC cards, RFID tags, and an app-based smartphone catch data capture. All approaches encountered barriers to uptake, and the most recent estimates suggest up to 44% of the catch in the Philippines remains unreported. We discuss additional systemic considerations necessary to advance sustainability outcomes and their documentation through traceability systems in the seafood sector originating with small-scale fishers.

Security and Privacy Based NFC Wallet Design

With the Covid-19 pandemic, contactless and remote payment options have started to be used more widely. NFC technology is also used for contactless payment. In this study, it is aimed to create a payment system using NFC. The design of the payment system used a portable NFC, an Android phone with version 4.4 or higher, an NFC card, Firebase database from Google, and tokenization. We can define tokenization as generating a random string of text with your credit card number. First of all, the developed application must be downloaded and installed on the phone. With this application, the phone will act as a POS machine. Users can use the phone as a POS and make transactions using it. In this system, only a random text string will be visible in an unauthorized access to the database. In this way, security and confidentiality are provided in the system.

Design and Development Of Lecturer Attendance System Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Lecturer attendance record is required by the university to know the presence of lecturers in teaching in class. In general condition, lecturer attendance is recorded on the attendance sheet, or input to web application accessed on a class computer. However, there are some problems in its implementation so that at the end, lecturer presence is carried out using a manual form where the academic staff needs to re-enter the lecturer attendance data into the applications. Based on the above, the authors designed and developed a lecturer attendance information system to record lecturers' attendance using radio frequency identification technology by implementing a near field communication card (NFC Card). The device used to record and read presence data during lectures, by tapping an Mi-fare NFC card to an NFC reader / writer device.

2FYSH: two-factor authentication you should have for password replacement

Password has been the most used authentication system these days. However, strong passwords are hard to remember and unique to every account. Unfortunately, even with the strongest passwords, password authentication system can still be breached by some kind of attacks. 2FYSH is two tokens-based authentication protocol designed to replace the password authentication entirely. The two tokens are a mobile phone and an NFC card. By utilizing mobile phones as one of the tokens, 2FYSH is offering third layer of security for users that lock their phone with some kind of security. 2FYSH is secure since it uses public and private key along with challenge-response protocol. 2FYSH protects the user from usual password attacks such as man-in-the-middle attack, phishing, eavesdropping, brute forcing, shoulder surfing, key logging, and verifier leaking. The secure design of 2FYSH has made 90% of the usability test participants to prefer 2FYSH for securing their sensitive information. This fact makes 2FYSH best applied to secure sensitive data needs such as bank accounts and corporate secrets.

NFC-enabled Android Smartphone Application Development to Hide 4 Digits Passcode for Access Control System

Android is a name of the Google's mobile operating system (OS) which is largely used around the world. A few years ago, Google released first mobile application for mobile payment system over NFC-enabled Android smartphone. Many researchers then have started their work so far on NFC mobile phone to take its advantage in real implementation, especially, to replace both of existing physical keys and access cards. After Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) was released in Android 4.4, Android phone can be used as an emulated card that, in most previous works, was done on Peer-2-Peer mode and Read/Write mode. The purpose of this work is to develop an Android application that can emulate as NFC card through HCE and manage the passcodes to replace pressing on keypad in (4 digits passcode) access control system.

Audio-based narratives for the trenches of World War I: Intertwining stories, places and interaction for an evocative experience

We report in detail the co-design, setup and evaluation of a technological intervention for a complex outdoor heritage site: a World War I fortified camp and trenches located in the natural setting of the Italian Alps. Sound was used as the only means of content delivery as it was considered particularly effective in engaging visitors at an emotional level and had the potential to enhance the physical experience of being at an historical place. The implemented prototype is visitor-aware personalised multi-point auditory narrative system that automatically plays sounds and stories depending on a combination of features such as physical location, visitor proximity and visitor preferences. The curators created for the trail multiple narratives to capture the different voices of the War. The stories are all personal accounts (as opposed to objective and detached reporting of the facts); they were designed to trigger empathy and understanding while leaving the visitors free to interpret the content and the place on the bases of their own understanding and sensitivity. The result is an evocative embodied experience that does not describe the place in a traditional sense, but leaves its interpretation open. It takes visitors beyond the traditional view of heritage as a source of information toward a sensorial experience of feeling the past. A prototype was set up and tested with a group of volunteers showing that a design that carefully combines content design, sound design, tangible and embodied interaction can bring archaeological remains, with very little to see, back to life. We show co-design, setup, and test of a digital interaction for an archaeological site.The prototype is a visitor-aware personalised multi-point auditory narrative system.Visitors interact with sound by walking and using NFC cards in a belt-like device.Narratives had explicit reference to the territory and aimed at generate emotion.The mix of sound, voices, personal stories, and immersive experience was very evocative.

Integration of Wireless Technologies in Smart University Campus Environment

In this paper, the authors are particularly interested in enhancing the education process by integrating new tools to the teaching environments. This enhancement is part of an emerging concept, called smart campus. Smart University Campus will come up with a new ubiquitous computing and communication field and change people's lives radically by providing systems and devices supported with smart technologies that have the capabilities of rapid respond to changes and circumstances without human interference, and it will be able to learn from these circumstances. This paper presents framework architecture for integrating various types of wireless networks into a smart university campus to enhance communication among students, instructors, and administration. Moreover, the authors study two possible applications to utilize the proposed networking framework: smart identification and social collaboration applications. An essential part to achieve the main principles of smart university campus is the deployment and usage of smart card technologies for identification and payment. Nowadays, there are several types of smart identification cards that support wireless technologies such as RFIDs and NFC. In both types, a card reader can read the card information from a distance. Moreover, in NFC cards, the card is integrated with the user's cellular phone. Social networking services (such as Facebook) facilitate online communication and provide a suitable environment for collaboration among students. As a part of future work, the proposed framework is deployed in the authors' university campus to find out the end-end performance and system usability.
