Abstract

This technical report describes the design and implementation details of a wireless connection (Bluetooth) based college management system. It is mainly created to save time and to do a particular task with extreme ease and comfort, without any pre-requisite knowledge of its operation. Hence it can be used by any class of people of our society but this has been developed mainly for the colleges and schools. Also, its functions can be extended to professional field with little modifications as per the requirement. It is a multi-functionaldevice. In school/college level, each student will be provided with this device having a unique Device Identification Code (D.I.C) stored in the server and each device will have a password corresponding to that particular device that will be known to the owner of the device only. It can function within the closed boundary of the institution. This idea is very much similar to the Bluetooth of our cell phones which have a unique Mac Address. Using that password, the device holder can login in to his/ her account when present within the institution and can work or view the things. It has mainly two functions-First function discusses about the implementation of this device in Library Management System where one can issue any book according to his/her subject choice and at the same time can return also. This can done simply by just logging in to their respective account. Second function is based on accessing any particular information related to a particular year and department given by the institution. Anyone can login any time to check out any Notice regarding Fees, Exam Schedule or any event of the college/school. For this he/she is just needed to login from their respective device with a correct password. This invariably reduces a lot of time of taking the trouble of checking the notice board each and every day. A check on the security of the total system has been maintained with the help of cryptography. When information is transferred to the user then it is always in its encrypted form. When it reaches the user then it gets automatically decrypted by using a unique key. This is a system generated procedure. Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm have been used for encrypting and decrypting any information. The methodology and result sections show its functionality and output. We hope that the concept described in this paper will aid the developers’ community in near future.
