, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The field of this invention relates to Biometric based application, software and more particularly in the development of an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification so that the system enhance user security layer to avoid the threats.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Because of the numerous benefits they provide to ATM customers, automated teller machines (ATM) have grown in popularity in the banking industry. Users of ATMs can withdraw cash, make cash deposits, inquire about balances, and pay bills without having to queue at a branch. ATMs, on the other hand, have brought with them cyber-crime, which has resulted in massive losses for both ATM customers and institutions.
Despite geographical variations in the incidence of ATM fraud, the crime has continued to increase and spread globally. Traditional ATM crimes such as ATM card skimming have been the focus of commercial banks and IT security specialists around the world. New ATM crimes, such as Jackpotting and Shimming, have evolved, though. In recent years, the number of logical attacks has increased.
For obvious reasons, attacks on automated teller machines (ATMs) are nothing new. They're an ideal target for both traditional thieves and hackers, as they're located at the crossroads of physical theft and cybercrime. ATMs, particularly in underdeveloped countries, frequently lack fundamental cyber security safeguards, such as outdated operating systems and low authentication requirements. Criminals have used their ingenuity to steal money from ATMs with great success during the last few years.

In concern with the above-discussed issues for banking sector, an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification is adopted to enhance the system security level. This security level validates the user two times by means of their physical characteristics verification and thus mimics the duplication of user characteristics and security threats to ATM.

2. To provide two level of user security layer in addition to the existing security features in ATM

machine.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The problem mentioned in the background can be solved by introducing an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification so that the system enhances user security layer to avoid the threats.

The invention aims to develop an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification so that the system enhances user security layer to avoid the threats. An ATM card holder is captured using camera at the doorstep to record his/her details initially and then allowed to enter into the ATM room. Now the user swipes his card to precede further transaction in their bank account. After the card has been validated, the user’s face recognition authentication is done using in-built camera placed at the top of the ATM machine. The second level authentication includes validating the account holder fingerprint by means of fingerprint reader placed nearer to the screen and this level proceeds only if first level authentication succeeds. The user is allowed to perform transaction in their account only if both the security level succeeds and even if any one of the security fails, the door will be locked. Each user will be provided with the maximum of three attempts in the both security level. In this way, an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification is adopted to enhance the system security level and thus mimics the duplication of user characteristics and security threats to ATM.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 represents how two level of security layer is provided in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification is adopted to enhance the system security level and thus mimics the duplication of user characteristics and security threats to ATM.

FIG. 2 represents the process of validating the user and authenticating them using physical feature of human in an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification is adopted to enhance the system security level and thus mimics the duplication of user characteristics and security threats to ATM.

An ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system provides two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification. The first and foremost step in this system is that it captures the human face and record them in the centralized server by the banking sector for their
further reference. Once they entered into the ATM room, they are allowed to swipe their EMV chip enabled ATM card into the card reader for the purpose of validating the card. After the validation of card, two more security level is provided before they proceed with their normal transaction. First level is Facial recognition authentication where their facial features are captured using the high-definition camera placed at the top of ATM machine. Second, the user’s fingerprint is scanned using fingerprint device kept nearer to the keyboard. Only after the successful validation of above said two level of security, a user can begin to perform further transaction such as credit or debit. The user is provided with a maximum of three attempts while doing these authentications which are available in case of the two-security level. In case of failure in any one of these security layer, the user will be locked inside the door itself and they are allowed to move out only after the proper validation. In this way, an improved Security level in an ATM machine using Biometric based authentication system which supports two level of user authentication such as face recognition and biometric verification is adopted to enhance the system security level and thus mimics the duplication of user characteristics and security threats to ATM.
