BEACON BASED SECURED

DETECTION
ABSTRACT

• Tracking and control of elderly or handicapped people in an indoor environment


• Special box using an Arduino board and a mobile application on Android
• Determines location of the target using beacons
• Beacons transmit Bluetooth Low Energy signals in the required areas
• Systems determine position of person
• Monitor any event that would cause an alert
• long stay in a fixed position, or
• entry into predefined forbidden zones
ABSTRACT

• Location data stored in database


• Alerts can trigger messages to be sent to local authorities and/or relatives of the
people
• IoT security is of much important these days
• Authenticated access is ensured in the system put forward
• Location of tracked person is not passed to anyone anonymous
• Info can be accessed only by people with particular key
INTRODUCTION

• BLE
• Wireless personal area network
• Less power, cheaper, higher speed, wide support by smart devices
• 40 channels and three channels (i.e., 37, 38, and 39) used for broadcasting
advertisement messages
• RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) : Used for estimating target’s location
• BLE beacons use small lithium chip batteries – great battery life
BEACONS

• Beacons: Small and cheap devices


• Transmit signals (Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy standard specification)
• Repeatedly broadcast Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)
• Received by BLE receivers including all sorts of smart devices
• Signals used to identify unique id, subgroups and individual ones in subgroups
EXISTING SYSTEM

• Beacons are used as transmitters


• Detected by both Android and iOS devices
• Receivers used :
• Android smart phone
• Arduino Mega microcontroller board with BLE receiver module
EXISTING SYSTEM

• Both are programmed to scan the available BLE signals “on the air”
• RSSI values: Determine distance of receiver to each of the beacons
• Location of receiver estimated & stored in database
• Navigation of receiver also tracked
• Alerts generated for movements or excessively long stays in a position or area
EXISTING SYSTEM
IOT ISSUES
IOT CHALLENGES

• IoT is applied without consideration for security issues


• A common assumption is that data is stored in the cloud, it remains safe
• Cloud may be unhackable and app fully encrypted
• Even the most secure software isn’t secure enough when the hardware is
vulnerable
• Sensitive data or enabling features need secure infrastructure to protect the
data
• If not, the results may be disastrous
PROPOSED SYSTEM

• System based on beacons for detection of lost people is not an authenticated


process
• Security is required for IoT device
• Proposed system prevent hijacking by introducing authenticity for the system
• Anyone who seeks the location will not be provided with the exact data
• Location data is encrypted and hence whoever tries to access the info can’t
retrieve it properly
• Authenticated users are only provided with the data
PROPOSED SYSTEM

CONCLUSION

• Perform position estimation, location estimation and alert generation


• Beacons are positioned to perform extensive measurements
• Systems send alert message if:
• Target goes to the forbidden zone or
• Remains at a location for a long time
• System gives better results for location estimation than exact positioning due to
non-ideal effects
• Hardware and software systems can be combined for the purpose
FUTURE WORK

• More accurate and efficient measurements


• Controlling the signal levels of transmitters
• Calibration made according to the location
• Track target using different kinds of signal such as ultra-wide band technology
• More research and development
• Obtain reliable products
