Abstract

Summary

With rapid growth in the use of automated teller machines (ATMs), there is need to develop secure, robust and
reliable schemes to securely/correctly authenticate users. The conventional ATM authentication schemes
available are mostly cryptographic based and this gives room to lots of vulnerabilities. This paper presents an
improvement on the conventional cryptographic security scheme currently used in ATMs by proposing the
application of Biometric Key Binding (BKB) technique which fuses biometric security with cryptographic
protocols on biometric template generated from input test images. The application of BKB not only protects the
information of the user’s biometric features, but also securely releases cryptographic key that is bound with
biometric trait in a monolithic framework. The ease and protection provided by the proposed technique
promotes improved security for widespread use of cryptographic systems. This technique provides high output
entropy keys and also conceals original biometric data such that it is impossible to recover the biometric data
even when the stored information in the system is open to an attacker.
