Paper Leak Security System

Abstract

Question paper leakage is one of the main issues for the students, who suffer from the postponement or cancellation of examination. The compact solution for this problem is AVR microcontroller based examination paper leakage protection system. The question paper comes to the college in an electronic sealed box called ibox. The ibox contains an embedded system that was designed using AVR microcontroller, which contains inbuilt RTC to monitor the ibox. If anyone tries to open the ibox before the system reports to university authorities by sending an SMS (Short Message Service) through GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) that “some malfunctioning is happening with the ibox”. Finger print of chief examiner of the college is used for open the exam box. Chief examiner needs to use thumb to open, If fingerprint match, motor rotates and unlocks the box. The system is having two sections of transceivers (A and B). The transceiver A is an embedded system associated with the box. The transceiver B is the mobile phone with the university authorities. The present work deals with the software and hardware part.
