1.2 Statement of the Problem
In recent years, in line with
global trends, the banking sector has faced rising levels of cash card
fraud resulting in the subsequent illegal withdrawal of funds from
customer accounts. The account-holder is normally held responsible for
the loss of funds from their accounts and, as such, the impact of this
fraud could be potentially far-reaching. As a result of this, the
banking sector has to embrace biometrics as the solution to the growing
problem of counterfeit ATM cards and ID theft. Among others include
1.
Fraudulent card readers, called skimmers are placed over the authentic
reader to transfer numbers and codes to nearby thieves.
2. Spy cameras are also used by password voyeurs to collect access codes.
3. In cases of card lost, if the loss is not noticed immediately, consumers may loose all funds in an account.
4. If you forget your pin number, you cannot use the card.
5.
The machine can retain your card when the machine malfunctions, when
you forget your secret number or if the card is damaged.
1.3 Aim and Objectives
The
aim of this project work is to simulate an embedded fingerprint
authentication system, which is used for ATM security applications. The
specific objectives include:
I. To provide a platform that will allow the bankers to collect customers’ finger print.
II. To provide a platform that will allow the bankers to
collect customers’ phone number and store them in a centralized
database.
III. To build a system that will forward
4-digit number to the customers’ mobile phone when the finger print
reading matches.
IV. To provide a platform that allows
the customer to run his transaction after the system accepts the code
generated.
V. To create a platform that will be able to analyze biometric data in the global image analysis.
