FOLDER LOCK SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT

Our research focuses on the implementation of the AES fingerprint algorithm exercise in Java, with a particular emphasis on securing specific folders, spaces, or disks rather than locking the entire system. This approach ensures that the entire system remains accessible to other users while providing targeted protection for restricted areas. In contrast to face ID and passwords, fingerprints offer a significantly higher level of security. Face ID systems can potentially be deceived using photographs or masks, compromising their reliability. Similarly, passwords are prone to being forgotten, shared, or easily guessed, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access. In comparison, biometric fingerprint recognition provides a more robust and reliable authentication method, enhancing overall system security. Biometric systems utilizing fingerprints not only provide a convenient and efficient means of verification but also offer a higher level of uniqueness and resistance to forgery. Each person possesses a unique fingerprint pattern, making it extremely difficult for impostors to replicate or tamper with. By incorporating biometric fingerprint techniques, our proposed study aims to reinforce the security and accuracy of the system. To achieve this, we will employ a biometric fingerprint sensor to scan documents, which will be integrated into a comprehensive authorization and access control system. The system will compile and manage user-accessible information, facilitating data retrieval and analysis for administrators. By implementing this arrangement, we ensure the system maintains accurate and up-to-date data, including any changes to the responsible personnel within the bureaucracy.
