DEVELOPMENT OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM FOR PASSPORT VERIFICATION USING RFID ZIGBEE BASED PROJECTS

(ABSTRACT)

Security is a growing issue in international travel for both travelers and governments. Some countries however, are beginning to require passport verification to help improve the security efforts for travel abroad. It's an important issue with the potential for criminals and terrorists to travel between countries with fake or forged documentation. The more effort those countries, universities and other organizations put into verifying the identity of foreign nationals, the better the chance of keeping criminals and terrorists from entering a country and causing problems. As technology improves, it is becoming easier to verify the citizenship documentation of individuals.
Very often, one of the main reasons that people travel between countries is for educational purposes. Some universities require passport verification for immigrant student before they are allowed to enroll and attend. This is done to help ensure the safety of fellow, students, staff and university visitors. There is risk involved in allowing illegal immigrants to attend colleges and university since there would be no way to definitively determine their true identities. Without verification, it would be easy for international criminals or terrorists to infiltrate the educational system. In the past, terrorists have used information learned in colleges, aviation schools, etc. in order to carry out terrorist attacks.
