INTRODUCTION:

Personal Safes are revolutionary locking storage cases that open with just the touch of your finger. These
products are designed as secure storage for medications, jewelry, weapons, documents, and other valuable
or potentially harmful items.These utilize fingerprint recognition technology to allow access to only those
whose fingerprints you choose. It contains all the necessary electronics to allow you to store, delete, and
verify fingerprints with just the touch of a button. Stored fingerprints are retained even in the event of
complete power failure or battery drain.These eliminates the need for keeping track of keys or remembering
a combination password, or PIN. It can only be opened when an authorized user is present, since there are
no keys or combinations to be copied or stolen, or locks that can be picked.

ABSTRACT:
In this project the fingerprint module from Miaxis Biometrics is used. It can store up to 750 finger prints on
its own memory. It can be controlled through its serial port.
The microcontroller AT89S52 interact with the module. You can Add a fingerprint, Delete a fingerprint and
Identify the fingerprint.
To add a fingerprint, just show the finger on the module and press the ADD key. Now the microcontroller
will send the ADD command to the module and the module will add it into the memory.
To delete the finger follow the same as above.
To identify the finger, press the Identify button and if the finger matches then the Relay is
complemented.Also the fingerprint ID is displayed over the LCD display

ABSTRACT:
The Main objective of this project is to authenticate and to maintain attendance by collecting fingerprints using
fingerprint sensors.
Nowadays accurate personal identification is becoming more and more important. Usual means (smart cards,
passwords¦) have shown their limits. Currently fingerprint recognition is the most widely used technique for personal
identification.
The use of ink and paper to get an image from a finger was used for a long time, but technological advances have
enabled to automate the acquisition stage by means of solid-state sensors.
These sensors exploit different techniques to acquire the image (pressure, electrical field, temperature¦) and require
a static (matrix sensor) or mobile finger position (sweeping mode sensor).
The project is developed with 3 level securities, i.e. to provide the authentication here an ID, password and finger
print are required. The project contains 2 modes, the first one is master mode and the second is user mode.
The fingerprint sensor sense the thumb impression of the particular person and that image will be registered with
username and password in fingerprint sensor module.
This project is developed on microcontroller (89S52). The fingerprint sensor is serially interfaced to the
microcontroller via MAX232 IC.
the fingerprint sensor sense the thumb impression of the corresponding person and that image will be compared with
registered image and if the both images are unique, then the microcontroller activates particular task like
authenticating an image, identification of the employee etc which also maintains the attendance record of each and
every employee.
The process of authentication is done by entering username and password by using a keypad.

consuming 4 piece of AA batteries and executes average 1.2 seconds of high speed authentication. As CPU and
highly upgraded algorithm are embedded into a module, it provides high recognition ratio even to small-size, wet, dry,
calloused fingerprint.  Due to technologies of simple and robust hardware design and including keypad function of
the existed DK in one board, it can be executed to develop viable applications and perform user enrollment and
authentication needed for fingerprint recognition without a connection to PC.

MAX 232:
1. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply EIA-232 voltage levels
from a single 5-V supply.
2. Each receiver converts EIA-232 inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels.
3. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30- V
inputs.
4. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into EIA-232 levels. The driver, receiver, and voltage- generator

The AT89C52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 8K
bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device
is manufactured using Atmelâ„¢s high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is
compatible with the industry-standard 80C51 and 80C52 instruction set and pinout.
The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a
conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU
with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C52 is a powerful microcomputer
which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control

LCD DISPLAY:
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have materials which combine the properties of both liquids and crystals. Rather than
having a melting point, they have a temperature range within which the molecules are almost as mobile as they would
be in a liquid, but are grouped together in an ordered form similar to a crystal.
An LCD consists of two glass panels, with the liquid crystal material sand witched in between them. The inner surface
of the glass plates are coated with transparent electrodes which define the character, symbols or patterns to be
displayed polymeric layers are present in between the electrodes and the liquid crystal, which makes the liquid crystal
molecules to maintain a defined orientation angle
