Abstract - In today’s digital landscape, the protection of sensitive and confidential documents has become critically important to prevent unauthorized access and potential data breaches. This project presents a Smart Document Protection System that leverages dual biometric authentication and IoT-enabled security alert mechanisms, ensuring a secure and intelligent approach to document protection. The core of the system is built around an Arduino Uno which manages the hardware-side authentication processes. The security system implements a two-step fingerprint authentication and a secure password check, allowing only verified users to gain access to the protected documents. Upon successful biometric and password verification, the system automatically unlocks an electronic door lock, granting access to the stored documents. In the case of an incorrect password or unauthorized access attempt, the system triggers a Python-based script to capture an image using the laptop's camera and sends a real-time alert with the photo to the concerned authority via Telegram messaging SMS notification.
