VIDEO CALLING SYSTEM USING BIOMETRIC REMOTE AUTHENTICATION

Video calling is one of the widely used method of communication. The proposed system supports three tier secure video calling system. The proposed work describes about a video calling system that uses biometric authentication. In this authentication system we are using three security mechanisms, first is user id and password, second is the fingerprint scanning and third is face recognition system. For this system the user id and password is created and stored in the database, fingerprints and images are captured and also stored in database, and the entire database is on to the server where every client's data is verified, so when two users want to participate in the video conference, they have to enter their user id, password and fingerprint and face the camera to take a live image. The three attributes of the users are verified with the ones stored in the database, if there is a positive authentication from both sides then only the video conference can take place successfully. If the authentication fails at any one side video calling will not take place.
