rfid-authentication

IoT and Cloud Enabled PC authentication using RFID tag with user login audit in the Client Device.

Prerequisites:

• IoT devices:

  • Arduino Leanardo (any Board that supports Keyboard library) - PC Authentication
  • Node MCU Esp8266 - update the real-time db & retrieve login time
  • RC522 RFID Reader
  • RFID Tags

• Cloud services:

  • Firebase Real-Time Database - store logs
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging - notify the app
  • Pusher Beams Client - api to send push notifications using the FCM server
  • AWS EC2 - EC2 server to host the python script to automate the notifications

• Android Studio: Build & Compile the android application

Note: Instead of buying arduino Leonardo & Node mcu, can use a single MCU offering both usb serial connection & wifi connectivity.
