I. INTRODUCTION
RFID based Attendance System could be a technique created for student at school. Attendance plays a
significant role in tracking the regularity and sincerity of scholars. Tracking student attendance manually that's
using pen and paper had become an outdated approach. Since sometimes it marks fake entries by students but
even sometimes cause improper evaluation of attendance. This project uses RFID technology for creating a note
of each student entering in school room and also compute the time resides during a class. during this system
each student is assigned with an RFID card. Attendance system will construct an automatic system which give
superior routine and proficiency than the normal method of noticing student. When RFID card labor under the
RFID reader in read range zone, the system will record the info from the RFID card to the database systems.
This method for attendance marking is through the Arduino board and by using RFID. The student will tap the
RFID card on the RFID reader where RFID reader reads the ID of the scholars in particularly via student ID and
so transfer information via arduino board to the XAMPP Server(MYSQL and PHP) server process to record and
display student attendance records by a web-based application.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

In the process of system development, literature reviews conducted to understand the concept, methods and
technologies associated with systems that are developed. Background research on the organization and
comparative studies of existing systems is additionally done to understand the system requirements before the
system was developed. Student Attendance Using RFID System is an automatic record of student attendance
developed mainly for schools and colleges.
T.S. Lim, S.C. Sim and M.M. Mansor, has published a paper on “RFID Based Attendance System” in 2009.
this method is accustomed take attendance for student in class, college, and university. Its ability to uniquely
identify everyone supported their RFID tag quite ID card make the tactic of taking the attendance easier, faster
and secure as compared to plain method[1].

III. METHODOLOGY
1) Rfid Card Marking Attendance:
We have used Rfid-RC522 Reader, Node MCU-ESP8266 Microcontroller,LM7805 transformer , SSD1306
OLED Display, Piezo Buzzer Merge together which forms a circuit. The Rfid Tag contains an IC for storing the
info, an antenna for transmitting and receiving, and also a modulator. While entering the premises the scholar
must tap rfid based id card on the Machine fixed with the circuit inside ie. the microcontroller .It verifies the
info within the Card and identifies the coed through its unique serial number. In our project we've used Arduino
to feed the info within the RFID Card using its unique serial number to assign to each student a singular id. The
circuit is connected with the laptop through a USB cable .All the parts of the circuit are connected through wires
. The usb cable is directly connected to [Link] feed data within the Rfid tag we use Arduino. By
joining the circuit with Laptop and tapping the rfid tag we are able to get the unique serial number. We feed the
info within the card through the arduino code by individually writing about the cardboard details in it.
 Securing Data during this paper Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm is employed so as to secure the
Rfid tag data from Hacking. while RFID tag can not be replaced by its duplicate there is also an opportunity
of adjusting the info without informing to the handler of university. so as to avoid such style of acts here we
are using AES algorithm. Each and each RFID tag consists of their unique identity number which is thought
as plain text. This plain text is added with some key by generating a brand new text referred to as cipher
text.

2) Database on Server:
After the coed tap on the machine the info is transport the database server .We have used Php for fetching the
[Link] have used XAMPP server which could be a open source localhost server and phpmyadmin which is
pre-installed with it. Our website needs a database,this is where our data is stored. After this through the php
code the info is transport the webpage in order that school authority and fogeys can take a glance thereon. The
Attendance data is upgraded on Attendance web server. Parents can log-in and think about attendance or apply
on-line for Leave in order that Campus Administration is conscious of Leave earlier. After 10 minutes of
marking attendance, teacher get a SMS displaying total count of absent numbers & list if absent roll numbers.

Faculty can verify overall accuracy and may also verify absent roll numbers. Students attendance might not get
marked on RFID Reader thanks to anybody of the Reasons.
 Scheduling SMS
Scheduling SMS has made it easier to send messages occasionally when it's difficult to recollect or once
you are occupied with other things. Just set the time and also the message and acquire on along with your
schedule. We have used Cron Job which is able to list out the scholars by SMS algorithm by cron job and
begin sending the messages to the fogeys of absent students. In Linux server cron job is that the scheduled
process which always trigger on specific schedule. Curl Library is employed in Cron job. Curl library helps
to form HTTP requests in Php. Daily auto SMS / email may be sent to folks at a set time say (7:30 within
the evening) stating classes & labs attended by their children. If the coed is absent for quite say three days,
SMS may got parents. Weekly SMS is also sent to parent informing his absentee within the classes. of these
SMS / email are customized as per need of the university.

 They are often recognized by the reader/host pair and, when applied or secure to an object or someone, that
object or person are often tracked and recognized wirelessly and on the move.
 RFID Card are accessible in many forms.

Software Module:
1) Card tapping and Data Gathering:
The first task is to tap RFID card on the RFID reader. The reader will fetch the data from the RFID card that
is student ID, student name, phone number and address. Initially we would gather the data by fetching the
data from the RFID card and creating its database with respective ID’s associated with each student name.
We have used the hardware module to scan the card and fill the data in it by using rfid card unique serial
number and later use it to fetch the data and get the information.
2) Feed Database:
In this module we are going to feed student information such as Student name, student ID which is unique
for each student, student address and other necessary information. So, that when any un-registered card tap
on the reader it will be shown on the display. The data is fetch using the Php code ,the xampp server acts as
a local database server and it helps in getting the data to the webpage.
3) Card Recognition:
In this module the card details will be checked whether it is attach with the database or not. If card details
are present in the database then the attendance will be marked . The process is implemented after student
tap on the card reader machine placed in their campus .If the card details are not present in the database,
that is database is not linked with it then it display 0 un-registered id on the display screen.
4) Send Message:
In this module after matching with the database entries the message is send to the parents regarding their
child school IN and OFF time. Here we are using Cron job to send message.

VI. CONCLUSION
The main purpose behind development of School Security System‟ was to produce security to the college
students. This attendance system is time- effective and it reduces the traditional method of taking attendance in
school also as, it doesn't require any power consumption.
A low cost RFID Based Attendance System prototype has been implemented successfully. The prototype
developed during this project is compact and light-weight weight. Since it can run using power adapter or
battery power. Therefore, it's very viable and may be carried to the category for marking the attendance.
Combining RFID, IOT advances for safety and security reason is incredibly vital. Additionally, the value allied
with tagging of fabric is somewhat low. In such manner this technique is competent of notifying to
parents/guardians through text message once the coed enters/leaves the college campus, enabling
parents/guardians to tracing the attendance of their children.
Maintaining automatic regularity of student attendance and taking action against late-comers and non-attendees,
schools cannot only enhance academic performance of scholars but also play a full of life role within the entire
development of every student. RFID technology also helps enhance classroom security.
