Hybrid Authentication Techniques for Workers Identification and Tracking

It is obvious that most establishments are faced with security challenges. Consequently securing and
protecting our identity and valuable data have become areas of great concern which cannot be
ignored. Continual quest for a more authentic solution to track, verify and checkmate amongst others,
staff movement within an organization, their dedication to duty and a logical system of wading off
intruders. Multimodal Authentication Techniques is an option for an improvement. It creates a greater
level of assurance of an accurate match in authentication, verification, tracking and identification
systems. It helps to overcome limitations of single biometric solutions to reduce the ability for the
system to be tricked fraudulently. It is best, most efficient, effective and most reliable when Biometric
Technique and Magnetic Coded Swiping Card or Barcode Reader Technology is combined. A Hybrid
of Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) and Object Oriented Analysis and
Design Methodology (OOADM) was used. The software was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic
Programming Language, and Microsoft Access as the database. A parallel changeover was also
recommended after deployment to avoid the disruption of the existing processes.
