Biometric Verification System

ABSTRACT The security of the transactions on the Automated Teller Machine (A TM) has been raising many concerns in some parts of the world. These concerns are due to series of limitations in the existing designs of the various service points. The current use of Personal Identification Number (PIN) for ATM user's verification and identification has been susceptible to unauthorized access, misplacement, forgetfulness, card swallowing among others; thereby narrowing down the machine's acceptability and patronage. In this paper, a framework for fmgerprint authenticated ATM application is presented. The framework comprises of modules for fmgerprint enrolment, database and verification. The verification module comprises of fingerprint enhancement, feature extraction and matching submodules, which all rely on suitable mathematical models to function. There is also platform for financial transaction including withdrawal and balance enquires.
