Web Portal

Web Portal
Abstract:
You can design a web portal. Main Functionalities of a Web Portal are
User / Member Registration:
For Web Portals or normal websites this is a necessary feature. We should give on line membership registration facilities. Some mandatory data need to collect are “First Name,Last Name,email ID,password ,Confirm password etc
Web based Booking Engine:
You can make a generic booking engine which can book the tickets for different items like Hotel Rooms,Tour Plans,Tour Packages,Activities,Film shows / Movies,Books etc. So your members or anonymous users can book these items. The money transaction will be happening through credit cards. To achieve this functionality you need to have a payment gate way interface .Payment gate way is nothing but a secure interface through which credit card transaction is possible. “Asia Pay”,”Bank of China Payment gate way”,”Pay Pal”,”HDFC Payment gateway” are examples. If you can Print a bar code on tickets that would also be nice.For barcode interface i would suggest “Aspose”.You can download a free dll from there site and you can use it. They will provide the sample codes also.
Change Password / Forgot(Reset) Password :
You should need to include this functionality also to the web portal.You
Free SMS Provision:
If you can give some provision to send free sms etc to your users. That will increase your site's popularity. Some websites like indyarocks.com are offering that provision .you can check that also.
Technologies:
Front End:ASP.NET 3.5 -Scalability would be more. You can use PHP ,Java etc too
Back End:SQL Server 2005,Or Oracle,MySQL etc .According to your expertise

RFID Based Automatic Authentication for Organizations

RFID can be used to provide an easy and efficient way to authenticate people working in an organization. Authentication is necessary to restrict access to data stored in computers. Information stored in a bank’s database contains crucial data about consumers and the bank’s functioning. These data need to be kept securely. Unauthorized access to such information can’t be allowed. As a consequence authentication of personnel having access to such information is necessary.

Presently passwords are used for authentication. In case a person leaves after she has logged in using a password, any unscrupulous person can get access to the data and be in a position to change it. In situations where the passwords have been forgotten or have been changed the access to data is denied causing disruption in work. This can be detrimental to the running of the bank. Since authentication using passwords involves limitations related to human behavior there is a need for a better method for the same. Here is where RFID comes into play.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. An RFID tag is a small object, such as an adhesive sticker, that can be attached to or incorporated into a product. RFID tags contain antennae to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. In the proposed system authentication of workers will be done with the help of RFID tag provided to them, which will uniquely identify them and give access to information meant only for them. This is an economical alternative to the present system, which will have additional features like

• performance monitoring

• automatic attendance system

• providing mobility of data

• improved ATM service.

There is a centralized database having all the information. Readers will be positioned at appropriate places. Only with the tag can a person get access to her domain of information. There will be different levels of privileges for different people ranging from the customer to the manager of the bank.
