Secured Mobile Attendance Management System Integrating Multi-Layered Authentication

Ensuring precise and valid attendance tracking has gained utmost prominence in educational institutions and corporate organizations. The traditional attendance tracking system is easily susceptible to manipulation and fraud, thus compromising the integrity of the data. In this paper, we proposed a secured system that integrates multilayered authentication with feedback module to ensure reliability, accuracy, and a secure attendance marking system. The first layer MAC address verification, which authenticates the registered mobile device to prevent unauthorized access from other devices, the second layer Face recognition using Face Net, ensuring that only the legitimate user can mark attendance, and the third layer Geolocation verification, which verifies the user's physical presence at the designated location by matching real-time GPS coordinates. Users can report issues and concerns that occurred in any of these verification layers, in the feedback module, later an administrator reviews and validates the reports before final attendance approval. This proposed solution simplifies the attendance management procedure, improves security, and reduces attendance fraud. Which is particularly beneficial for educational institutions, corporate organizations, and other sectors requiring efficient attendance tracking system.
