This paper aims at realization of the Automated Teller Machine network all around the globe using IPv6, thereby reducing the complexity and total number of transactions involved in the entire process of cash withdrawal. But the major challenge involved in connecting ATM network to public domain is the security. A Near-Field Communication (NFC) is proposed to be used where in the user, after inserting ATM Card, would communicate via only their NFC enabled mobile phones. Reserving NFC spectrum band to the government is proposed to be made mandatory for ensuring no eavesdropping. The proposed technique would help in achieving a unified interface for ATM terminals among all the financial institutions. A prior establish ment of session is made between a trusted third party application and the ATM terminals, wherein the ATM card is checked for its validity and after this validation, session is established between the ATM terminal and the financial institution's server. Then server sends registered mobile number of the swiped ATM card to the terminal, wherein the terminal invokes NFC with that mobile number. Thereafter all the communication is between mobile and the server via the ATM terminals ensuring authenticity and confidentiality. Using this technique, an ATM terminal can connect to any bank server in the world, directly, reducing huge network traffic and providing scope to include other non-financial services as offerings.
This paper aims at realization and implementation of an online voting that could be implemented in Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using IPv6. All ATMs are now currently in a private network of their respective bank servers. If it is possible to transform them into IPv6, they enter into a new domain of public networking. Also there is a possibility of many security related threats when these transformations are successfully deployed in all ATM terminals. A basic solution would be to distribute prior to the configuration of ATM terminals, the digital certificates of both bank and election commission servers. This would almost make impossible for others to intrude and disturb the transaction established by the ATM terminals between the bank or election commission servers. The number of transactions between the election commission server and the ATM terminals that will be required in case of the current scenario of routing all transactions through national financial switch (NFS) would reduce by at least half. Also additional encryption mechanisms established ensure secure state of these transactions. The two phases of transactions, the voter registration and online voting [1] aims at making entire process of franchise capturing automated.
