Automated Biometric Voice-Based Access Control in Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)

Abstract

— An automatic teller machine requires a user to pass an identity test before any transaction can be granted. The current method available for access control in ATM is based on smartcard. Efforts were made to conduct an interview with structured questions among the ATM users and the result proofed that a lot of problems was associated with ATM smartcard for access control. Among the problems are; it is very difficult to prevent another person from attaining and using a legitimate persons card, also conventional smartcard can be lost, duplicated, stolen or impersonated with accuracy. To address the problems, the paper proposed the use of biometric voice-based access control system in automatic teller machine. In the proposed system, access will be authorized simply by means of an enroll user speaking into a microphone attached to the automatic teller machine. There are 2 phases in implementation of the proposed system: first training phase, second testing or operational phase as discussed in section 4 of this paper.
