REVIEW ON AN ATM WITH AN EYE

Abstract

Iris recognition system has proved its biometric security rules in various high risk sectors like flight, border patrol and defence. Banking sector has to accept this system because of its strength and the advantages. It provides cutting costs and making processes easier. The technology started out as newness however due demands in the banking sector characterized by decreasing profits it became a necessity. The use of Biometric ATM’s based on iris recognition technology has providing a safe and paperless banking environment. A biometric system provides automatic recognition of an individual based on some sort of unique feature or characteristic controlled by the individual. Biometrics gained lot of attention over recent years as a way to identify individuals. The developments in technology have made it possible to use biometrics in applications where it is required to establish or confirm the identity of individuals. The use of biometric for identification purposes requires that a particular biometric factor be unique for each individual that it can be readily measured, and that it is invariant over time. Human iris on the other hand as an internal organ of the eye and as well protected from the external environment, yet it is easily visible from within one meter of distance makes it a perfect biometric for an identification system with the ease of speed and automation. The iris is a thin circular diaphragm, which lies between the cornea and the lens of the human eye.
