A fingerprint locker system using microcontroller uses fingerprint recognition system as a process of verifying the fingerprint image to open the electronic lock. This research highlights the development of fingerprint verification system using Arduino 1.6.3. Verification is completed by comparing the data of authorized fingerprint image with incoming fingerprint image. The incoming fingerprint image will first go through the extraction and filtering processes through which the information about it is obtained. Then the information of incoming fingerprint image will undergo the comparison process to compare it with authorized fingerprint image. In this work, the fingerprint module was trained to learn and identify whether the incoming fingerprint image is genuine or forgery. A much broader application of fingerprint is for personal authentication, for instance to access a computer, a network, an ATM-machine, a car or a home.

INTRODUCTION In spite of numerous advantages of biometrics-based personal authentication systems over traditional security systems based on token or knowledge, they are vulnerable to attacks that can decrease their security considerably. Biometrics-based personal authentication system that use physiological (fingerprint, face) or behavioral (speech, handwriting) traits are becoming increasingly popular, compared to traditional systems that are based on tokens (key) or knowledge (password).Fingerprint-based identification is one of the most important biometric technologies which have drawn a substantial amount of attention recently. Fingerprint technology is so common in personal identification that it has been well established. Each human has unique owns fingerprint, even the twin have different fingerprint. So fingerprint recognition is useful in security law application. The electronic lock using fingerprint recognition involves a process of verifying the user's identity by using fingerprint recognition as a key to the electronic lock. This work highlights the development of fingerprint recognition system using ARDUINO 1.6.3. to recognize the input fingerprint image from the stored samples in bmp, tif; tiff; jpg; jpeg; gif file type. Then the information of the recognized fingerprint image will be store in database for verification authorized user. These fingerprint recognition systems are based on the hypothesis that the human fingerprint is unique. It is important to validate the individuality of fingerprint in order to use the fingerprint image for security related system. In real application, the fingerprint data is recorded by using USB fingerprint scanner and then sent to a recognizer that will check the similarity of the user's fingerprint.[1-2]
