Fingershield ATM – ATM Security System using Fingerprint Authentication

The proliferation of ATM Fraud case in Indonesia is still the main concern for the society especially bank customers. In March 2017, a total loss of 5 billion rupiah was recorded as a result of ATM Frauds. While the only solution which ensures security of ATM machines is a 6-digit PIN, there are still a lot of security cracks that can be used by the criminals to steal customer data and the 6-digit PIN itself. One of the most frequent method of ATM Fraud is skimming. Therefore, the authors bring the concept of Fingershield ATM, ATM Machine that implements biometric identification in the form of fingerprints which is integrated with smart card and database server. Fingerprint technology is powerful identification because of its unique characteristics of each of the minutiae. Despite the fact that customers have to add additional authentication time around 1.5 seconds for fingerprint verification, the security is much improved and guaranteed. This research will use experimental descriptive method. With this method, hopefully ATM Fraud can be minimized so that the customers can feel more secure while using ATM Machines. Based on implementation and test results which had been done before, Fingershield ATM functions run well and some security parameters have passed the test, as well as almost all specifications are met.
