Cloud-based web application for attendance monitoring based on fingerprints

摘要

The thesis addresses the development and implementation of the web application which supports a fingerprint verification system. It is about a cloud application for access control, which uses a cloud service deployed on the same »cloud«. The cloud service, called FingerIdent, enables the use of biometric verification with fingerprint. The application accesses the service through a WebAPI call.udThe introductory chapter describes what is access control, what it is used for and how it is mapped to our problem. The next chapter discusses the solutions for the field of access control management. Third chapter of the thesis presents the architecture of our solution. In this part the hardware components required for the proper functioning and the architecture of our appication are described in more detail. The forth chapter describes the development of the web application. It provides the information about basic demands, it also gives the application description and it presents the technologies and tools used for the development. The application user guide can be found in the last section of this chapter. The fifth chapter consists of the testing results. We tested the speed of registration and login processes, the loading time of the statistics page and the time required for the generation of reports in form of PDF documents. The thesis conclusion presents the analysis of the testing results and possible application improvements.ud
