Securing Smart Buildings Using RFID and Fingerprint Technologies

Background: The emergence of smart buildings, heavily affected by Internet of Things (IoT) devices and technology, creates a need for increased security solutions. The vulnerability of large structures to security breaches has become a significant worry as they grow increasingly linked. Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of combining Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with fingerprint technology to improve security in smart buildings. The final objective is to create a solid RFID-based fingerprint-building lock mechanism to provide more security. Methods: A two-pronged research strategy was used to assess the effectiveness of the suggested security solution. Initially, a comprehensive literature review was conducted in order to have a better understanding of the current state of intelligent building security. Subsequently, a detailed examination of an intelligent building incorporating RFID and fingerprint technology offered pragmatic observations regarding their implementation and benefits. Results: The case study findings indicate a significant increase in security levels after integrating RFID and fingerprint systems, with a significant decrease in security breach incidences. When coupled with these technologies, they provide improved authentication and greatly minimize the possibility of unwanted access. Conclusion: There is a possible route for fortifying security measures in smart buildings by combining RFID and fingerprint technology. Such integrated techniques improve the safety of building occupants and contribute to protecting building assets, indicating a watershed moment in the field of intelligent building security.
