SkyGate-A Wireless RFID Authentication System

This dissertation is written with the objective of showcasing the feasibility of
coupling RFID and Wi-Fi technology and attaching a RDBMS database backend to
allow for an effective, simple, robust and efficient authentication control network.
This report contains 5 chapters in total. The first chapter will present the problem
statement that had led to the attempt to develop the project, as well as defining the
project's objective and the limits of its scope as a Final Year Project. Meanwhile, the
second chapter will provide a literature review concerning the implementation of
RFID/Wi-Fi hybrids on the field. Sources will mainly be based on literature by Syed
Ahson, Mohammad Ilyas, Stephen B. Miles, Sanjay E. Sarma & John R. Williams.
Chapter 3 highlights the methodology taken during the implementation of the project
and provides an updated and more in-depth description of all the technologies
involved. This will cover all three aspects of the project which are RFID technology,
Wi-Fi networking as well as its underlying software programming construct. In
Chapter 4, a report on the results of the project is given detailing completed project
components as well as reporting on the problems encountered while implementing
the project. Chapter 5 will put forth a conclusion for this report as well as concerning
the project itself.
