Cyber Security for Atm Terminals

Abstract

In general, customers are identified and checked by their associated passwords and pins at the ATM terminals. However, because of the demonetisation in India, there is a need to improve the protection of these devices, which are easily susceptible to attacks when a card is stolen. Fingerprint biometrics, along with smart card and GSM technologies, will provide the best solution to this issue by increasing the security levels of the user account. It offers a very high level of protection through the use of smart card and technologies of GSM. A smart card reader and a GSM modem are provided for this device. In order to get access to the system, the user should effectively bring with him the same mobile number as specified in the smart card. This prevents the abuse of individual protection systems focused on smart card technology. An improved algorithm for fingerprint recognition is applied which can be used in all ATM terminals across India with quick response time.
