IoT-Based Data Logging System for Authenticated Bank Locker Access to Ensuring Security

In the conventional method of the banking system, whenever someone visits a bank to access the lockers, there will be a security guard appointed by the bank to ensure that the customer accessing his/her locker is authorized and only accessing his/her locker. Before entering the locker room to access their lockers, the person needs to enter the logbook available at the bank. The proposed system is a data logging system with Near Field Communication (NFC) capability. NFC is used to ensure a person's authentication and logging details. The NFC reader is installed at the entrance to bank lockers. Each customer who wants to utilize a locker is given an NFC tag, and the suggested system saves the customer's basic information as well as the unique NFC tag id assigned to each customer in a MySQL database. The authenticated individual must display the NFC tag near the reader. The reader detects the tag value and compares it to the database. If the customer is authenticated, the electromagnetic locking system will unlock the locker room door. Along with the NFC tag id, additional logging data such as the check-in time and date, as well as the customer's basic information, are simultaneously and automatically logged into a separate database table. Another reader can be installed inside the locker room to record the customers' check-out date and time in a manner similar to the one described above. Automated, authenticated-based entries are created by the system. The customer access time in the locker room can also be calculated with its help.
