A FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM FOR ATM SECURITY
Abstract: The study looked into the assessment of fingerprint authentication system for ATM security. Specifically, the study aim to provide a platform that will allow the bankers to collect customers’ finger print, provide a platform that will allow the bankers to collect customers’ phone number and store them in a centralized database, build a system that will forward 4-digit number to the customers’ mobile phone when the finger print reading matches, provide a platform that allows the customer to run his transaction after the system accepts the code generated and create a platform that will be able to analyze biometric data in the global image analysis. The findings revealed that the growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Access codes for buildings, banks accounts and computer systems often use PIN's for identification and security clearances. Conventional method of identification based on possession of ID cards or exclusive knowledge like a social security number or a password are not all together reliable.
