Access control is the process of verifying a user's claimed identity and giving or denying the access. The aim of the proposed system is to construct a secure access control system to control the entry of various items through a door or a passage using RFID technology. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems will become pervasive in our daily lives due to their low cost and easy to use characteristics. At the very simplest level, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies allow the transmission of a unique serial number wirelessly, using radio waves. The two key parts of the system that are needed to do this are the RFID 'tag' and the 'Reader'. The proposed system is an automatic identification and authentication system which can be deployed at the doors of the building to authenticate authorized people. The proposed system aims to develop a very low cost authentica-tion system based on the low cost components than those which are already available in the market. This approach not only reduces the cost but also enhances the reliability and ease of maintenance of the authentication system. The flexibility of the proposed access control system makes itself suitable for various applications.
