Implementation of PRESENT Algorithm on Contactless Access Control using Raspberry Pi

This research develops a contactless and secure access control system based on face recognition and body temperature measurement. This research aims to establish a security system that also fulfills health protocols for COVID-19 spreading, in this case, the limitation of physical contact. The PRESENT algorithm, a lightweight block cipher encryption-decryption algorithm, is implemented to keep the transmitted data safe. The face recognition method consists of the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm and LBPH face recognition algorithm. The body temperature is measured using a contactless sensor. The performance tests show the accuracies of recognizing faces are 68% under 198 Lux lighting and 52% under 105 Lux lighting. The precision of measuring body temperature using the sensor reaches 98,85%. Based on the sniffing attack test of the system, the encrypted data transmitted from the system to the web-based database is safe from attackers. Besides the face spoofing attack tests, the system will not authenticate attackers with face photos or face videos.
