1. Introduction:
Today the money is transported around the nation to banks and cash machines via security vehicles. Once the vehicle has arrived at its destination, the cash is deposited inside a secure container and Physical security guard transports this to its desired location. Upon reaching the destination, the cash-box is prone to various threats mainly being theft. The cash-box theft is the major issue that all banks suffer these days. Only physical security is not sufficient to protect very large amounts of money. We have various wireless technologies to control, monitor and track the mobile assets. The tracking scenarios are boosted by the invention of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). By making using the above specified technologies, one can trace the movements of the security vehicle or even cash-box efficiently with graphical maps and location information stored in the backend database. If the theft of cash-box is detected, tracking system can be activated to trace the path of cash-box. Once tracked and located, through the monitoring system, we can easily retrieve it or even catch the criminals.
This assignment discuss the above issue of detecting and tracking the cash-box by using wireless technologies like RFID, GPS, GSM, GPRS and EGNOS. GPRS serves as the communication backbone of the system while GPS/EGNOS plays the role of locating the box and RFID is used for theft detection. The assignment also briefly describes the technologies used in the system, its benefits and disadvantages and technical and security drawbacks. Finally a framework is developed by making use of above listed technologies to perform the required task.
Intentional Jamming: This is one way of denying the GPS signals by jamming the signals using Radio Frequency interference. It is found to have been
