In recent years, the algorithm that the fingerprint

recognition continuously updated, which has offered new
verification means for us, the original password
authentication method combined with the biometric
identification technology verify the users identity better and
achieve the purpose that use of ATM machines improve the
safety .
In the proposed system we are trying to remove
disadvantages of existing system. So security over money
Transaction is our prime concern. In traditional system
client has to carry debit or credit card with him to verify his
identity. This identity card may lose, so instead of
traditional identification we are using biometric
identification. Fingerprint recognition has got continuously
updated algorithm in recent years which mean perfect
biometric identification. The purpose of generating OTP is
to achieve better identification with high security. Security
of ATM center is also important. For that there is a
temperature sensor and tilt sensor.

Abstract The basic aim of this paper is to study the

system, which is used for ATM access to cash withdrawal with
more security. In this system, Bankers will collect the
customer finger prints and mobile number while opening the
account then only customer can access ATM machine. The
working of system will start when our customer goes at ATM
center. First there is switch for entry. After getting entry
customer has to places his finger on the finger print module.
Then system will check for user identity and checks validity of
finger if it finds as a valid then ATM machine will ask to
customer for 4-digit ATM pin, which is fixed. If that 4-digit
code match with entered pin code then system will
automatically generates another different 4-digit code i.e.
OTP. And that code will be message to the customers
registered mobile number through GSM modem which is
connected to ARM 7. Here customer has to enter this code
again .After entering OTP, System will checks whether
entered code is a valid one or not. And if it is valid, the
customer is allowed for further accessing. ATM will show
options like cash withdrawal, cash deposit. Also purpose of
using Temperature sensor and tilt sensor is to provide security
for ATM Terminal.

II. CHARACTERISTICS OF SYSTEM

Keywords ATM Terminal, ARM 7, Fingerprint Module,

GSM Modem, OTP, Temperature Sensor, Tilt Sensor.

1. Fingerprint identification: It is used for customers

identification. So that there will be security for
account identification.
2. Data Server: System can compare current client's
fingerprint information with remote fingerprint data
server.
3. OTP: This is One Time Password which is used for
increasing security of money transaction. This code
will be different for each payment.
4. Password analysis: Only fingerprint recognition is not
helpful in security point of view. So there password
recognition in this system.
5. Remote authentication: System can compare current
Clients fingerprint information with remote
Fingerprint data server.

I. INTRODUCTION
The existing self banking system has got very high
popularity with 24 hours service. Use of ATM (Automatic
Teller Machine) is helpful for money transaction. ATM is
activated by placing the card, then entering the pin number
of the particular card. But this system is not safe to use
because anybody can access the system if they have the
card and pin number like we share our card and pin number
to our friends who may miss use it. This is the main
disadvantage of existing system.
Traditional ATM systems authenticate the method has
some defects. Using ATM card and password cannot verify
the client's identity exactly.

6. Telephone alarming: Once an exception happens,
such as log in as the fake identity, the system will
start the phone alarm to inform client and bank staff
as soon as possible.
7. Police network connection: The system can call the
police if any wrong happens with machine and user.

3 After entering in ATM center. User will place his

finger on module.
4 System will check database and asks for ATM pin.
5 If ATM pin and fingerprint matches with database.
6 6.Machine will generate OTP and send to users
registered
mobile.
7 User have to type OTP and if it correct. Account will
be open and user will be allowed for drawing money.
8 Another system we are implementing in this system is
to secure ATM from thief and fire.
9 If position of ATM changes it will turn off shutter of
ATM by using DC motor. For detecting position of
ATM tilt sensor will be used.
10 Temperature sensor is used for detecting temperature
of ATM. If temperature increases beyond limit.
Sprinklers will be on to vanish fire.

III. WHY FINGERPRINT

1.

3.

There is very less chances of two people having

same fingerprint.
Human fingerprint may change in scale but cannot
change in appearance compared to other
biometrics
It is easy to take fingerprint.

VI. HARDWARE DESIGN

FINGER PRINT
MODULE

1. The LPC2148 is the main control unit of this project,

Along with LPC2148 there is connection of different
module such as Fingerprint module, GSM modem,
keypad module, LCD module
2. Fingerprint module: In our project fingerprint module
is used for getting customers identification with more
efficiently.
3. GSM modem: It is used for transmitting 4 digits OTP
which is generated by processor on users registered
mobile number.
4. Keypad Module: 4*4 matrix keypad is used to
provide users pin and OTP.
5. LCD module: 16*2 LCD module is used as display
for ATM terminal.
6. Temperature Sensor (LM35): Basic function of
temperature sensor is to sense the temperature. If
temperature rises above the set point then it
automatically generates alarming signal and at the
same time starts sprinkler.
7. Tilt Sensor: It is used for sensing the position of
ATM. If in case of robbery the position of ATM is
changed then this sensor will automatically generate
alarming signal and will shut down the shutter of
ATM center.

This system of software is implemented by the steps as
follows: first of all, the Linux kernel and the File system
are loaded into the main chip. The next, the system is
initialized to implement specific task, such as checking
ATM system, GSM communication and so on, and then
each module reset for ready to run commands. Before using
ATM terminal, the mobile number and fingerprint of the
customer is required.
Software design has three parts which are as follows:
A. Fingerprint recognition flowchart
B. Flowchart for ATM Access
C. Flowchart for ATM Security

4. Region Mask Estimation

In this block normalized input image is divided into two
parts i.e. recoverable and unrecoverable.
5. Filtering
The main aim of filtering is image enhancement. For
image enhancement there are many Gabor filters which are
connected in cascaded.

A. Fingerprint Recognition Flowchart

It has following steps which are as follows:
Orientation Image
Estimation

1. Normalization
First input image is taken and that input image is
normalized for specific variance and mean. This operation
is done Pixel-wise. This operation doesnt change the
resolution of ridge and valley structures, but it reduces the
variations in the gray-level values along with ridges and
valleys.

Frequency Image
Estimation

2. Local Orientation Estimation

Normalized image then fed to next block in which
orientation image is estimated. Orientation image defines
invariant coordinates of ridges and valleys.

VIII. FUTURE SCOPE

REFERENCES

In this project we are using fingerprint module as mode

of authentication. This project is depending on the
biometrics i.e. fingerprint. In future it will be very easy to
implement because each person has his own fingerprints
with the permanent uniqueness. The system will provide
many advantages such as, we do not forget our fingers,
Users respect them, fraudsters are afraid of them, Protects
privacy. Fingerprints do not change over time, Fingerprints
stop unauthorized access, and all fingers are unique, which
allows each person to have ten easy uses of identifiers,
Base of all world-wide identification.
In future systems using biometric will be preferred as
method to provide security and authentication this will
eliminate forgery and fraud in many organizations.

The Implementation of ATM security by using

fingerprint recognition and GSM MODEM took
advantages of the stability and reliability of fingerprint
characteristics. Additional, the system also contains the
original verifying methods which were inputting owner's
password which is send by the controller. The security
features were enhanced largely for the stability and
reliability of owner recognition. The whole system will be
built on the technology of embedded system which makes
the system more safe, reliable and easy to use.
Additional, system also contains security of ATM itself
which are as follows Temperature sensor, which is used for
protecting ATM centre from fire in which if there is fire
then sprinkler will be ON. Tilt (MEMS) Sensors, which use
a micro-machined acceleration sensing element with a DC
response to measure inclination relative to gravity. As
position of ATM machine change, The DC motor
connected to the shutter of ATM centre will be ON.
