MOTIVATION
This Project biometric employee attendance service is an easy to use attendance clock. The system avails the gathering of work hours by a small finger print scanner attached to the computer. Employees will punch IN and punch OUT by using their fingerprints, utilizing any computer connected to the intranet. It will become possible to gather accurate time attendance of your employees in real time.

EXISTING SYSTEM
 The major problem faced in smart cards is lack of

security and the problem is two fold. The first issue is that not all smart cards are in fact secure .
 The second issue with security involves public

perception of the technology. People must believe that the cards are secure
 A third issue concerns who holds responsibility for the

card. If the cash balance is wiped by a memory failure

PROPOSED SYSTEM
Biometric attendance system is one of the most

successful application of biometric technology. With the integration and use of biometric technology getting simpler, many corporations are venturing down the biometric road to verify the time and attendance of their employees.
Biometric attendance has taken a starring role in today's

competitive markets. As labor cost becomes more and more a factor in determining the profitability of business, the ability to reduce employee labor theft has become a principal goal.

INTRODUCTION OF BIOMETRICS
Biometrics: A New Era in Security Traditionally, authorized users have gained access to secure information systems, buildings, or equipment via multiple passwords, personal identification numbers, secure tokens, keys, codes, identification cards, and so on. However, these security methods have important weaknesses they can be lost,

stolen, forged, or forgotten. Biometric technology would change security and access control by providing systems that recognize us by our biological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, facial characteristics, and speech patterns.

THE TECHNOLOGY
Today, most biometric systems capture data about biological or behavioral characteristics via cameras or microphones and relay the data to a digital signal processor processing. (DSP) for analysis, digitization, and

THE COST
Fingerprint readers cost more than $1,000 until a year ago. Several vendors are now promising to deliver finger scanners for about $100 each later this year.

TYPES OF BIOMETRICS
Fingerprint scans Fingerprint-scanning systems use optical or capacitative electronic sensors to capture samples of fingerprints. They then conduct vector or minutia analysis of the samples and classify them based on their distinctive pattern of ridges, loops, whorls, and arches. Voice authentication Voice-authentication systems typically use a sound card or a DSP to digitize voice input. The systems then use a matrix to classify the data based on voice characteristics. Eye scans Biometric devices are sometimes used to scan a person s retina or iris.

EXPLANATION
 Give the input to fingerprint scanner.  The fingerprint scanner analyze the fingerprint image as fingertip

value and verify that fingertip value from the database

 In the database already stored all the fingerprint images as a

fingertip value.
 If the fingertip values are matched, then put the attendance for the

particular employee and store into the database.

 If the fingertip values not matched, then the attendance does not

marked. The particular employee should punch their finger on the fingerprint scanner one more time.
