OTP-Based Check-in System
Objective
To design a secure and paperless check-in system where attendees/visitors confirm their identity using a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to their registered email or mobile number during entry at events, offices, exams, or hostels.
Key Features
| Module | Feature |
|---|---|
| User Registration | Pre-register using email/phone, enter personal details |
| OTP Generation | System generates unique OTP during check-in request |
| OTP Delivery | OTP sent via Email/SMS/WhatsApp |
| Check-in Validation | User enters OTP at kiosk/device → system validates |
| Admin Dashboard | Track check-ins, attendance logs, late arrivals |
| QR Code (Optional) | Generate QR code with OTP embedded for faster check-in |
| Notifications | Confirmation SMS/email on successful check-in |
| Multi-Device Support | Kiosk, mobile app, or web-based check-in |
| Security Logs | Track failed OTP attempts, suspicious activity |
| Role Management | Admin/Staff manage attendees, validate entries |
Technology Stack
| Layer | Technology Options |
|---|---|
| Frontend | HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, React / Vue / Angular |
| Backend | Node.js (Express) / Spring Boot / Django |

Workflow
1. Registration
-
User pre-registers with Name, ID, Email, Mobile.
-
Record stored in DB.
2. Check-in Request
-
At check-in counter → user provides mobile/email.
-
System generates random OTP (e.g., 6-digit numeric).
3. OTP Delivery
-
OTP sent via SMS/Email/WhatsApp.
-
OTP valid for X minutes (e.g., 5 mins).
4. Validation
-
User enters OTP at kiosk/web.
-
System verifies OTP from DB/cache.
-
On success → Check-in confirmed, time logged.
5. Admin Monitoring
-
Admin can see:
-
List of checked-in users
-
Failed OTP attempts
-
Late arrivals
-
User Roles
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Visitor/User | Register & check-in using OTP |
| Staff | Assist with OTP verification at kiosks |
| Admin | Manage registrations, monitor logs, export reports |
Security Features
-
Time-bound OTP (expires after X minutes)
-
Hashing OTP before storing in DB

Rate limiting for OTP resend requests
-
IP/device tracking for fraud prevention
-
Role-based access for staff/admin
