Abstract—
The main aim of this paper is to design and implement a bank locker
security system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global
System for Mobile (GSM) technology which can be arranged in bank, secured
offices and h o m e s. In this system only genuine person can recover money
from bank locker. We have arranged a bank locker security system based on
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global System for Mobile (GSM)
technology which include door locking system using on Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) and Global System for Mobile (GSM) which can activate,
authenticate and validate the user and unlock the door in real time for bank
locker secure access. The main merit of using passive on Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) and Global System for Mobile (GSM) is more secure than
other systems. This system is made up of microcontroller, Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) reader, Global System for Mobile (GSM) modem,
keyboard, and Liquid Crystal Diode (LCD). In this system the RFID reader reads
the id number from submissive tag and send to the microcontroller, if the id
number is valid then microcontroller send the SMS request to the
authenticated person mobile number, for the master password to open the
bank locker, if the person sends the password to the microcontroller, which
will verify the passwords entered by the key board and received from
authenticated mobile phone. If these two passwords are matched the locker
will be opened otherwise it will be remain in locked position. This system is
more secure than other systems because two passwords required for
verification. This system also generates a log containing check-in and check-out
of each user along with basic information of user. Index Terms— Global System
for Mobile (GSM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), locking system,
Keyboard, Microcontroller

I. INTRODUCTION
In this present age, safety has become an key issue for most of the people
especially in the rural and urban areas. Some people will try to cheat or steal

the property which may risk the safety of money in the bank, house, and
office. To overpower the security threat, a most of people will install cluster of
locks or alarm system. There are many types of alarm systems available in the
market which employ different types of sensor. The sensor can detect different
types of transforms occur in the surrounding and the transforms will be
processed to be given out an alert according to the pre-set value. By the same
time this system may not be good for all the time. In this paper we have

planned safety of the money in the bank locker, house, and office (treasury) by
using RFID and GSM technology which will be more immune than other

systems. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) based accesscontrol system

allows only genuine persons to open the bank locker with GSM technology.
Basically, an RFID system made up of an antenna or coil, a transceiver (with
decoder) and a transponder (RF tag) electronically programmed with special
information. In the market there are many divergent types of RFID systems.
These are classified on the basis of their frequency ranges. Some of the most

frequently used RFID kits are low-frequency (30-500 kHz), mid-frequency (900
kHz-1500MHz) and high-frequency(2.4-2.5GHz)[1]. The passive tags are lighter
and less expensive than the active tags [2]. Digital cellular communication
globally accepts standard of Global system for mobile communication (GSM).
GSM is a common European mobile telephone standard for a mobile cellular
radio system operating at 900 MHz In the current work, SIM300 GSM module
is used. The SIM300 module is a Triband GSM/GPRS solution in a compact plug
in module featuring an industry-standard interface. It delivers voice, data and
fax in a small form factor with low power consumption. [3]. In this paper we
have designed and arranged a bank locker security system based on RFID and
GSM technology. In this system only genuine person can recover money from
bank locker with two password protection method.
Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman or Times New Roman may be used.
If neither is available on your word processor,please use the font closest in
appearance to Times. Avoid using bit-mapped fonts. True Type 1 or Open Type
fonts are required.
Please embed all fonts, in particular symbol fonts, as well, for math, etc.

II. RELATED WORKS

In this chapter some of related works connected to the monitoring system
using GSM services are illustrated. In [4] has developed a Prepaid Water Meter
System for prepaid billing of water utilization through remote monitoring
without any human inclusion. This system may be fast and reliable billing of
water as well as preventing any mishandling of it. However, [5] developed a
water meter reading using GSM system that is worthy for remote places to
monitor the water meter reading before any billing process. This could
minimize the use of human resource for reading the meter and producing a
bill. There was also a work on monitoring of electrical meter reading using
GSM network done by [6]. The system was able to monitor the meter In [7],
this system is used to control home appliance tenuously and offer security
when the owner is away from the place. The similar work presented in [8]
which designed and developed a smart home application system. The system
allows the property owner to be able to monitor and control the residence
appliances via a mobile phone set by sending commands in the form of SMS
messages and receiving the home appliances status. In [9], one more approach
using GSM technology to communicate with the remote devices via SMS is
remote metering system, in this paper illustrates a technique for remotely
reading electricity meter readings using SMS. Both postpaid and prepaid are
feasible to implement using this architecture as SMS based data gathering can
be done very quickly and efficiently. In [10] [11], this paper projected a Zigbee-
GSM based Monitoring and Remote Control System. In this systems used both
Zigbee and GSM for communicating between user and devices. This system
allows user to monitor and control devices in the home through a number of
controls, including a Zigbee based remote control. Users may remotely
monitor and control their home devices using GSM. In [12], the most
important objective of the paper is to design and develop a highly developed
vehicle locking system in the real time situation. The design & development of
a theft control system for an automobile, which is being used to revent/control
the theft of a vehicle. This system consists of an embedded system and Global
System Mobile communication (GSM) technology. This system developed by
Pravada P. Wan hade and Prof. S.O. Dahad, the developed system is installed in
the vehicle. The mobile is connected to the microcontroller, which is in turn,
connected to the engine. Once, the vehicle is being stolen, the information is
used by the vehicle owner for further processing. The information is passed
onto the central processing insurance system which is in the form of the SMS,
the microcontroller unit reads the SMS and sends it to the Global Positioning
System (GPS) module and says to lock it or to stop the engine immediately. The
main concept of this paper vehicle is controlled by GSM and GPS. The designed
unit is reliable and efficient system for providing security to the vehicles
through GSM, GPS and serial communication.

III. PROPOSED METHOD

In this project work, the RFID reader reads the data from tag and send to the
microcontroller, if the card is authentic then microcontroller show the account
holder name and number. Then the account holder needs to enter the
password, if the password is authentic then microcontroller sends the SMS to
account holder mobile number. Then account holder enters the password to
the microcontroller through mobile phone using GSM. The microcontroller
compares the passwords entered by keyboard and received SMS. If these
passwords match, the microcontroller provides necessary control signal to
open the bank locker. This method is simple and more reliable than other
system.

III.1 RFID FUNDAMENTALS

Basically, an RFID system made up of an antenna or coil, a transceiver (with
decoder) and a transponder (RF tag) electronically programmed with special
information. In the market there are many divergent types of RFID systems.
These are classified on the basis of their frequency ranges. Some of the most
frequently used RFID kits are low-frequency (30-500 kHz), mid-frequency (900
kHz-1500MHz) and high- frequency (2.4-2.5GHz).Basically, an RFID system
exists of three components: an antenna or coil, a transceiver (with decoder)
and a transponder (RF tag) electronically programmed with special
information. An RFID reader is a device that is used for examining an RFID tag.
The reader has an antenna which emits radio waves; the tag responds by
reverting back its data. An RFID tag is a microchip merged with an antenna in a
compact package; the packaging is built to allow the RFID tag to be attached to
an object to be traced. "RFID" represents Radio Frequency Identification. The
tag's antenna collect signals from an RFID reader or scanner and then returns
the signal, generally with some additional data (like a unique serial number or
some other customized information). A submissive tag is an RFID tag that does
not contain a battery; the power is imparted by the reader. When radio waves
from the reader are experienced by a submissive RFID tag, the coiled antenna
within the tag forms a magnetic field. The tag drives power from it, exciting the
circuits in the tag. The tag then sends the information ciphered in the tag's
memory. The RX and TX pins of RFID reader connected to Tx and Rx pins of
AT89C51 Microcontroller subsequently. Then the reader senses the data from
the Tag and sends the sensed data to microcontroller via serial port.

III.2 GSM modem SIM300 V7.03

The GSM modem is a special type of modem which accepts a SIM card works
on a subscriber’s mobile number over a
network, just like a mobile phone. Basically, it is a cell phone without display.
Modem sim300 is a tri-band GSM/GPRS engine
that works on EGSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz frequencies.
GSM Modem is RS232-logic level compatible,
i.e., it takes-3v to -15v as logic high and +3v to +15 as logic low. MAX232 is
used to convert TTL into RS232 logic level
translator used between the microcontroller and the GSM board. The signal at
pin 11 of the microcontroller is sent to the GSM
modem through pin 11 of max232. This signal is received at pin2 (RX) of the
GSM modem. The GSM modem sends the signal
from pin3 (TX) to the microcontroller through MAX232, which is received at pin
10 of IC1.
Features of GSM
 Single supply voltage 3.2v-4.5v
 Usual power consumption in SLEEP Mode: 2.5Ma
 SIM300 tri-band
 MT,MO,CB, text and PDU mode, SMS storage: SIM card
 Supported SIM Card :1.8V,3V

V. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
V.I. Power Supply
The power supply section is essential for any electronics circuits. To drive the
power supply, the 230V, 50Hz AC mains is stepped down by transformer X1 to
distribute a secondary output of 12V, 500 mA. The transformer output is
rectified by a fullwave rectifier having diodes D1 to D4, filtered by capacitor C1
and regulated by ICs 7812 (IC2) and 7805 (IC3). Capacitor C2 neglects the
ripples present in the regulated supply. LED1 acts as the power indicator and
R1 limits the current through LED1.The power supply part is shown in the
figure4.
VI. SOFTWARE PROGRAM TESTING
The software program has been written in c or assembly language and
compiled using keil software. After compiler action the hex code is generated
and stored in the computer. The hex code of the program is stored into the
AT89C51 by using Top win Universal programmer.
