AN ATM WITH AN EYE
INTRODUCTION
ATM is a machine which made money transactions easy for customers of bank.But security is an issue that has to be addressed. In the traditional way, security is handled by requiring the combination of a physical access
card and a PIN or other password. The fallacies of this system is stolen cards, badly-chosen or automatically assigned PINs, cards with little or no encryption schemes, employees with access to non-encrypted customer account information etc which can cause problems. In this paper, a physical access card, a PIN, and electronic facial recognition are used for authentication. By forcing
the ATM to match a live image of a customerâ„¢s face with an image stored in a bank database corresponding to the customer. The main challenges to this technique are:
-allowing for an appropriate level
of variation in a customerâ„¢s face when compared to the database image
-keeping verification process very fast.
-opportunity to acquire a photo for each and every customer
METHODOLOGY USED
locate a powerful
open-source facial recognition program that uses local feature analysis and that is
targeted at facial verification which are compilable on multiple
systems, including Linux and Windows variants. Several
sample images will be taken of several individuals to be used as test cases for testing and evaluating the software. The ATM black box
program will serve as the theoretical ATM with which the facial
recognition software will interact. Both pieces of software will be compiled and run on a Windows XP and a Linux
system.the black boxes will be broken into two components “ a server
and a client “ to be used in a two-machine network. DES encryption to the client end to
encrypt the input data and decrypt the output data from the server will be done.
