Key Features

Modern security systems focus on strong authentication, convenience, and tracking.

๐Ÿ”ข PIN Authentication

Secure numeric access with keypad input and lockout after failed attempts.

๐Ÿ“ฉ OTP Verification

One-Time Password layer to protect from unauthorized entry and brute-force attacks.

๐Ÿ“ก RFID / NFC

Contactless access using cards or NFC-enabled smartphones for quick entry.

๐Ÿงฌ Biometric Access

Fingerprint recognition for high security and personalized authentication.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile Unlock

Remote control lock via smartphone apps and smart home integrations.

๐Ÿงพ Access Logs

Maintain user logs, timestamps, and security alerts for monitoring.

How it Works

A secure step-by-step authentication workflow.

1

User Input

User enters PIN / OTP / RFID / Biometric input.

2

Verification

System validates input using authentication rules and logic design.

3

Access Control

Authorized user triggers unlocking mechanism.

4

Logging & Alerts

System stores access logs and raises alerts on suspicious attempts.

Security Layer

Smart locks need more than convenience โ€” they need protection.

โœ… Protection Mechanisms

  • Lockout after repeated wrong attempts
  • OTP expiry and renewal
  • Tamper detection alerts
  • Encrypted security logs

โš ๏ธ Threat Handling

  • Brute-force attempt blocking
  • Unauthorized device access prevention
  • Access history & activity monitoring
  • Backup & recovery options

VHDL & Digital Logic

This project also explores digital circuit design using Truth Table, K-map and VHDL simulation.

Logic Implementation

Using Boolean expressions derived from K-map simplification, the lock logic was implemented using VHDL for simulation.

Truth Table K-Map Equation Testbench
-- Digital Lock Entity (sample)
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;

entity digital_lock_system is
  Port (
    A, B, C, D : in  STD_LOGIC;
    X : out STD_LOGIC
  );
end digital_lock_system;

architecture Behavioral of digital_lock_system is
begin
  X <= (A and B) or (C and D);
end Behavioral;
