ABSTRACT
Biometrics based authentication is a potential candidate to replace password-based
authentication. Among all the Biometrics, fingerprint based identification is one of the
most mature and proven techniques. At the time of transaction fingerprint image is acquired
at the ATM terminal using a high resolution fingerprint scanner. Security measures at
banks can play a critical, contributory role in preventing attacks on customers. These
measures are of paramount importance when considering vulnerabilities and causation in
civil litigation. Banks must meet certain standards in order to ensure a safe and secure
banking environment for their customers. This paper focuses on vulnerabilities and the
increasing wave of criminal activities occurring at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs)
where quick cash is the prime target for criminals rather than at banks themselves. A
biometric measure as a means of enhancing the security for the banking system for both
customer’s & bankers also. We also proposed nominees fingerprint identification process
while the actual card holder was unable to do the transactions.
Key Words: Security, ATM, Biometric (Fingerprint), Verification, E-Banking.

INTRODUCTION
It is an application that allows the bank customers to carry out banking transactions like
deposits, transfers, balance enquiries, mini statement, withdrawal and fast cash etc.
Notwithstanding, we lived in a world where people no longer want to encounter long
queues for any reason, they do not want to wait for too long time before they are
attended to and this has led to the increasing services being rendered by banks to further
improve the convenience of banking through the means of electronic banking.
Crime at ATMs has become a nationwide issue that faces not only customers, but also
bank operators. Security measures at banks can play a critical, contributory role in
preventing attacks on customers. These measures are of paramount importance when
considering vulnerabilities and causation in civil litigation and banks must meet certain
standards in order to ensure a safe and secure banking environment for their customers.
Basically, the ATM scam involves thieves putting a thin, clear, rigid plastic sleeve into
the ATM card slot. When you insert your card, the machine cannot read the strip, so it
keeps asking you to re-enter your PIN number. Meanwhile, someone behind you
watches as you tap in your number. Eventually you give up, thinking the machine has
swallowed your card and you walk away. The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve
complete with card, and empty your account. The main fact is that many of the
customers have never used an ATM before and are completely unfamiliar with that
concept therefore they are very unlikely to memorize and remember a PIN.
Furthermore, there is a sense of mistrust with PINs. People may feel that it is unsafe
because if they lose their card they worry that someone will find and somehow be able
to determine their PIN and steal their money from the ATM. To keep it in mind we
proposed a combined technique i.e. customers insert their card & PIN, if customers
insert valid PIN then access is grant to another security approved process i.e. biometric
fingerprint. Using valid PIN & biometric fingerprint costumer can access ATM
transaction process i.e. deposits, transfers, balance enquiries, mini statement, Fast cash
& withdrawal etc. By using fingerprint recognition customers are more comfortable
with the idea of saving their money with the bank because they understand that if they
lose their ATM card, no one can replicate their fingerprint and take their money.

The primary focus of this work is on developing a biometric strategy (Fingerprint) to
enhance the security features of the ATM for effective banking transactions and more
comfortable features i.e. we proposed another option for nominee users because in case
a card holder faces an accident, then the transactions process is not possible. To keep
this drawback in mind we consider nominees fingerprint sample for second user to do
the transaction while actual card holder unable to do the transactions. Actually PIN
code are changeable but fingerprints are not changeable, so a card holder may change
his/her PIN code while maintaining one's own secrecy and may permit his/her nominee
to give updated PIN code for transactions. We have considered the left & right thumb
impression of an individual; it has been observed that there is no any match in these
samples in any case. We have also observed that thumb impression samples have been
taken in different angles & different forces.
1.1. C# (Coding Language)
C# is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language. C# encompasses
static typing, strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional,
generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming
disciplines.
The C# programming language was designed by Anders Hejlsberg from Microsoft in
2000 and was later approved as an international standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) in
2002 and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270) in 2003. Microsoft introduced C# along with .NET
Framework and Visual Studio, both of which were closed-source. At the time,
Microsoft had no open-source products. Four years later, in 2004, a free and open-
source project called Mono began, providing a cross-platform compiler and runtime
environment for the C# programming language. A decade later, Microsoft released
Visual Studio Code (code editor), Roslyn (compiler), and the unified .NET platform
(software framework), all of which support C# and are free, open-source, and cross-
platform. Mono also joined Microsoft but was not merged into .NET.
1.2. .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is a proprietary software framework developed by Microsoft that
runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It was the predominant implementation of the
Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) until being superseded by the cross-platform
.NET project. It includes a large class library called Framework Class Library (FCL)
and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other
2
languages) across several programming languages. Programs written for .NET
Framework execute in a software environment (in contrast to a hardware environment)
named the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR is an application virtual
machine that provides services such as security, memory management, and exception
handling. As such, computer code written using .NET Framework is called "managed
code". FCL and CLR together constitute the .NET Framework.
FCL provides the user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web
application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications.
Programmers produce software by combining their source code with .NET Framework
and other libraries. The framework is intended to be used by most new applications
created for the Windows platform. Microsoft also produces an integrated development
environment for .NET software called Visual Studio.
1.3. MySQL (Database)
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). Its name
is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter, and
"SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. A relational database
organizes data into one or more data tables in which data may be related to each other;
these relations help structure the data. SQL is a language programmers use to create,
modify and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to
the database. In addition to relational databases and SQL, an RDBMS like MySQL
works with an operating system to implement a relational database in a computer's
storage system, manages users, allows for network access and facilitates testing
database integrity and creation of backups.
MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public
License, and is also available under a variety of proprietary licenses. MySQL was
owned and sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun
Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation). In 2010, when Oracle acquired Sun,
Widenius forked the open-source MySQL project to create MariaDB.
1.4. Bitmap
Bitmap, method by which a display space (such as a graphics image file) is defined,
including the colour of each of its pixels (or bits). In effect, a bitmap is an array of
binary data representing the values of pixels in an image or display. A GIF is an
example of a graphics image file that has a bitmap. When the GIF is displayed on a
3
computer monitor, the computer reads the bitmap to determine which colours to use to
“paint” the screen. In a bitmapped font, each character is defined as a pattern of dots in
a bitmap.
1.5. FingerSpot FlexCode SDK
FlexCode SDK is simple and easy to use in accordance with the demands of your
application needs. FlexCode SDK provides more advanced solution, suitable for those
who need more freedom in creative. The functions in FlexCode SDK are not too basic,
the functions concept are instant, you simply call the functions required for registering
and verify fingerprints then FlexCode SDK will do registration process and verification
process without you need to be directly involved in it. The registration process will
produce a fingerprint template in a text format that is easy to be stored and distributed.
When you want to identify a finger, the templates are used to compare the fingerprints
scanned. You will get the results of the verification whether the same finger or not.
FlexCode SDK greatly save your time to integrate fingerprint technology into any
application required.

LITERATURE REVIEW
This part of study literature review includes available research related to consumer to
consumer online Second–Hand markets.
2.1 ATM Security Using Fingerprint Biometric Identifier: An Investigative Study
Methodology:
Crime at ATMs has become a nationwide issue that faces not only customers, but also
bank operators and this financial crime case rises repeatedly in recent years. A lot of
criminals tamper with the ATM terminal and steal customers’ card details by illegal
means. Once users’ bank card is lost and the password is stolen, the users’ account is
vulnerable to attack. Traditional ATM systems.

The result shows that Fingerprints have a wide variation since no two people have
identical prints. b. There is a high degree of consistency in fingerprints. A person's
fingerprints may change in scale but not in relative appearance, which is not the case in
other biometrics.
2.2 Fingerprint Verification of ATM Security System by Using Biometric and
Hybridization
Methodology:
To create a fingerprint by assuming that a set of feature extractors can identify
significant features in the image. Fingerprint is the pattern of ridges and valleys on the
tip of a finger and is used for personal verification of people. The minutiae-based
method requires accurate detection of the minutiae from a fingerprint image.

The result shows that, it is essential to first understand the basics of a biometric based
security system. The implementation of an ATM security system by using biometric
methods is a very important method. As well as very challenging and difficult. But for
security purposes or to control the criminal records it is very important to produce this
method. I think for future work it will also implement various technologies such as
unique cards or any other method.
2.3 Fingerprint Based Biometric ATM Authentication System
Methodology:
An embedded system is a combination of software and hardware to perform a dedicated
task. Some of the main devices used in embedded products are microprocessors and
microcontrollers. In this paper a fingerprint based ATM cash box accessing system
using PIC microcontroller is implemented. Microcontroller forms the controlling
module and it is the heart of the device.

The result shows that the fingerprint based ATM authentication system is designed such
that the door access can be controlled using fingerprint authentication. The status of the
door access is displayed on the LCD.
2.4 The Evolvement of ATM Using Fingerprint
Methodology:
It is most important that when the person enters the bank to open his/ her account using
an ATM then it’s necessary to give his/her thumb impression for security purposes.
By: V. Ajantha Devi & A. Priyanka
Published On: March & April 2017
The result shows that Fingerprints have intrinsic features that they do not change for
their whole life and are personally different. And they are easy to use, cheap and the
most suitable miniaturization.

PROBLEM STATEMENT & OBJECTIVES
3.1 Problem Statement
In the present scenario, a traditional ATM system accepts only the PIN CODE security
system, enabling the other person rather than the owner to access the account very
easily. This ensures that the traditional ATM system is not fully secured. .
3.2 Objectives
The Main objective of this project is:
1. The objective of our project is to provide biometric security through fingerprint
authentication in ATM applications.
2. The underlying principle is the phenomenon of biometrics
“AUTHENTICATION", in this project we propose a method for fingerprint
matching based on matching algorithms.

METHODOLOGY
The security feature for enhancing the Indian banking ATM was designed using the
client/server architecture. There will be a connection between the customer‟s
identification information, customer‟s accounts and records in the bank (server). The
network is designed to support a large number of users and uses a dedicated server to
accomplish this. The reason for choosing the Client/Server model for this application
is because it provides adequate security for the resources required for a critical
application such as a banking system. Similarly, a descriptive conceptual approach
which includes Unified Modelling language (UML) tools such as Use case models,
activity diagrams & sequence diagrams etc is adapted. The work is implemented using
Visual Basic 6.0 software tool, used to design the user interfaces and/or cardholder
interaction with the ATM Machine to be extracted from the templates at the central
server directly.
4.1 Use Case Diagram
It is a methodology used in system analysis to identify, clarify, and organize system
requirements. Use case define between external and the system to attain particular
goals. The subject (of the use case) is the system under design on consideration to which
a set of use case apply. Anything that interacts with the system, like human user, internal
or external application will be named as actors.

4.2 ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM
An entity relationship model, also called an entity-relationship (ER) diagram, is a
graphical representation of entities and their relationship to each other, typically used
in computing in regard to the organization of data within database or information
systems. An entity is a piece of data-an object or concept about which data is stored.
There are three types of relationship between entities which are as follow: -
● One-to-One
● One-to-Many
● Many-to-Many
FIGURE 2: ENTITY RELATION DIAGRAM
4.3 Sequence Diagram
Sequence Diagrams are interaction diagrams that detail how operations are carried out.
They capture the interaction between objects in the context of a collaboration. Sequence
Diagrams are time focus and they show the order of the interaction visually by using
the vertical axis of the diagram to represent time what messages are sent and when.

4.5 Flow Chart
A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order. It is a generic tool
that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes, and can be used to describe various
processes, such as a manufacturing process, an administrative or service process, or a project
plan.

RESULT
5.1 Result
In this project, we gained a deep knowledge about the development of windows
application, and we learned a lot of programming languages to apply in this project to
make it more functional and dynamic. We used C#.NET, Sql Query and we used
XAMPP as a local server for database storage.
We established a platform for users to Log-in into our ATM System. Authentication
and Verification is done before logging into the application. The functions and interface
is as similar to normal ATM. User can implant the fingerprint into the application and
verify it.

CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE
6.1 Conclusion
A smartcard based ATM fingerprint authentication scheme has been proposed. The
possession (smartcard) together with the claimed user's Biometrics (fingerprint) is
required in a transaction. The smartcard is used for the first layer of mutual
authentication when a user requests transaction. Biometric authentication is the second
layer. The fingerprint image is encrypted via 3D map as soon as it is captured, and then
is transmitted to the central server via symmetric algorithm. The encryption keys are
extracted from the random pixels distribution in a raw image of fingerprints. The stable
features of the fingerprint image need not to be transmitted, it can be extracted from the
templates at the central server directly.
6.2 Future Scope
In a nutshell, it can be summarized that the future scope of the project circles around
maintaining information regarding.
OTP Verification: Secondary authentication using OTP verification using GSM.
Eye Biometric: Eye recognition verification for Log In.
