Integration of Iris Biometrics in Automated Teller Machines for Enhanced User Authentication

Abstract

The ubiquitous Automatic Teller Machine that revolutionized the way monetary transactions are carried out the world over is currently riddled with several security challenges. Top on the list of these challenges are the thefts and frauds associated with the ever popular Personal Identification Number based automatic teller machines. A lot of suggestions and proposals have been made in recent times, on how to combat the menace of automatic teller machine frauds. Biometrics is one of the most promising tools that have the capacity to put the nefarious activities around automatic teller machines in check. This paper proposes a cheap and economic iris biometric based automatic teller machine, built around a microcontroller, iris scanner and a robust database. The designed and implemented prototype is capable of checkmating automatic teller machine fraud and it is also easy to implement in developing nations.

FinTech and commercial banks' performance in China: A leap forward or survival of the fittest?

“…The login process prevents hackers from breaking into the accounts or using the account without the owner's permission (Lee, 2018). In recent years, biometric technology (i.e., facial recognition) has been used at ATMs to reinforce security (Okokpujie et al, 2018).…”

A Three-Step Authentication Model for Mobile Phone User Using Keystroke Dynamics

“…Biometrics is one of the safest and most reliable ways of authentication as it is the characteristic of the user only. The most popular biometric methods used are finger scan [4], [5], retina scan [6], face scan [7], [8], keystroke dynamics [9], [10], etc. Finger scan is the most popular biometric being used in mobile phones.…”

Internet service providers responsibilities in botnet mitigation: a Nigerian perspective

“…Although, most Nigerian organisations are ill-equipped to mitigate malware threats, studies have shown that organisations cannot effectively mitigate botnet in isolation [5]. Both private and public organisations collaborate to fight botnet but the individuals and corporate entities in the private sector still remains the biggest victim of cybercrime [23][24][25]. Towards fighting against all forms of financial and cyber-crimes therefore EFCC was setup and empowered by Nigerian government to work hand in hand with the cybercrime Prevention Working Group to combat financial crimes.…”
