ABSTRACT: An automatic transaction machine (ATM) has become essential in our daily life. Security in the ATM
Network is primary concern because of financial transaction. This paper presents an ATM card access secured system using
microcontroller LPC2148. The RFID card in the proposed system identifies specific client. The identification is done by
comparing serial number of the user RFID tag with the stored data in the system. If the serial number of the RFID tag of the
user is matched with the stored data, then the system generates one time password (OTP) to a particular client through GSM
module. If the OTP entered is matched then transaction is done. If the false character is entered buzzer will be activated and
if more than three times false character is entered then the transaction from microcontroller will stop and. The system
utilizes serial communication with microcontroller to verify the information of the card holder. The proposed novel ATM
card access system Using RFID add one more level of security to exiting ATM.

1. INTRODUCTION
ATM is a computerized telecommunication device that
helps to complete the financial purposes like balance
enquiries, transfers, mini statement, deposit, and
withdrawal etc without any need of human workers. Few
ATM are simple and used for money transaction and
balance enquiry. The advanced ATM systems include
money transfer and deposits. Now a days crimes at ATMs
are widely increasing. ATMs are found in banks premises
as well as in different spots where clients need money
frequently such as restaurants, shopping malls, hotels and
airports. They are scattered all over places to allow
customers for easy transaction effectively. Usually clients
can access their transaction with ATM card given by
official officers with the PIN number. ATM robbers are
creating the fake cards and using for transaction. To prevent
this type of transaction in ATM we are using the one time
password (OTP) method. The ATM includes the RFID card
reader to identify the RFID card of individual clients and a
GSM modem which sends OTP for each transaction. When
client uses their card for money transaction, a
corresponding OTP will be sent to the registered mobile
number.

2. PROPOSED ATM CARD ACCESSING

SYSTEM
The proposed secured ATM card accessing system using
RFID is shown in Fig.1.The blocks diagram of the
proposed system consists of power supply, RFID card
reader, keypad, LCD (Liquid Crystal Delay), buzzer,
MAX232 and GSM module.
2.1 power supply: The power supply converts ac (230vac)
to pulsating dc (3.3v, 5v). The power supply consists of
step down transformer and rectifiers. The microcontroller
interface with GSM and RFID. For interfacing devices we
use 3.3v for micro controller and 5v power supply.

(fixed or mobile) with an antenna that sends power as well

as data and commands to the tags. RFID is connected to
microprocessor through UART1.
2.3 GSM: The proposed system uses Real Time GSM35
remote GSM modem unit. The GSM modem gives a direct
and dependable GSM association with stationary or GSM
900/1800 mobile fields far and wide. The GSM modem
gives Attention Check (AT) command to microcontroller.
GSM network is accomplished utilizing the Siemens TC35
motor. Here GSM is interfaced to microcontroller serially.
2.4 Keypad: The keypad consists of few switches
established in the block or "pad" which will carry numbers
along with other icons and also typically an extensive list of
alphabetical correspondence. Here we use 3*4 keypad.
2.5 MAX232:MAX232 converts signals from RS-232
serial port to signals suitable for use in TTL compatible
digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver
and typically converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTS signals.
2.6 LCD:16*2 LCD(liquid crystal display) is used in this
paper to display the information.LCD is interfaced serially
to microcontroller.
2.7 ARM7 Processor: The LPC2148 depend on a 16/32 bit
ARM7, CPU with real time application and embedded trace
support, together with 128/512 kilobytes of flash memory.
A 128-bit wide memory interface and an unique accelerator
architecture enable 32-bit code execution at clock rate.
With their compact 64 pin package, low power utilization,
different 32-bit clocks, 4-channel 10-bit ADC, USB
PORT,PWM channels and 46 GPIO(General Purpose Input
and Output) lines with up to 9 outer interfere with pins
these microcontrollers are especially suitable for medical
systems, industrial control, access control. . With a wide
range of serial communications interfaces, they are also
very well suited for embedded soft modems, protocol
converters and communication gateways as well as many
other general-purpose applications.

microcontroller, the microcontroller generates OTP and
sends to registered mobile number through GSM and waits
for the OTP to be entered by account holder. Then OTP
entered is compared with generated OTP, if it matches
transaction will be processed. If wrong pin is entered alarm
will be triggered for more than three times wrong pin is
entered then transaction will be declined.

We are using Visual Basic 6.0.software as a part of Front

End and Assembly Language in Back End. Keil software is
Resonance Integrated Development Environment is simple
access to all advancement instruments. Keil depends on a
quick multi-document editor to meet the particular needs of
programming. In general language keil is used for writing
the program and also to perform the execution. Flash Magic
is an application created by Embedded Systems Academy
to permit easy access of microcontroller. With this system
we can erase individual blocks or the whole Flash memory
of the microcontroller. Utilizing Flash Magic, we can
perform operations to a microcontroller like deleting,
programming and to read the flash memory, adjusting the
Boot Vector, performing and performing a blank check on a
section of the Flash memory and many others.
The experimental results of the proposed system are shown
in Fig 2 shows the implementation for secured ATM
access.

the information to the microcontroller. To identify account
the microcontroller compares received information with the
stored information. Once the account is identified, the
corresponding account number and account holders name
is displayed on the LCD for two seconds as shown in Fig

Then system asks password as shown in Fig (h), and waits
until the password is entered. Once the password entered
through keypad is matched to the stored password in
