PATENTS

Filed patent on the invention VOICE ASSISTED OBTUSE ATM in Indian Patent Journal with reference number 202041029173

The design and development in the field of usable security have not considered people with disabilities. To carry out transactions like banking, people with vision impairment are facing a lot of challenges as they do not have a dedicated system to assist them. This study proposes a voice-assisted obtuse ATM designed specifically for blind people. The proposal put forward a two-layer authentication mechanism that prevents several types of security breaches. Numerical values assigned by the user for a set of audio clips along with a random generated secret expression is kept as the security credentials. These credentials are encrypted using fully homomorphic encryption and saved in the authentication server which prevents server attacks. Using this method, a user is able to generate a session password for each login to access this ATM. For enhancing the security as well as usability a gadget device is also developed.
