Secured Banking using Multilevel Authentication by Face Recognition and SIM Card Verification for ATMs

Abstract

Security in ATM centers has become the need of the hour. Now-a-days we hear lots of news about Money laundering from ATMs by using fraudulent cards. This incurs not only loss of money but also huge stress to the customers. To thwart this situation and to guarantee a secured and safe transaction we have proposed a multilevel authentication for allowing access to the customer’s account.In our prototype the first level of authentication through the SIM of the subscriber. If it is a valid SIM then the second level of security check is through Facial Recognition. The camera in the ATM unit captures the image of the person withdrawing the money and compares with the database in the bank’s server. If both are matching then access to the net banking is facilitated. We are also incorporating voice annunciator system to aid blind people which will guide them to perform the transaction with ease.
