Characterization of staphylococci contaminating automated teller machines in Hong Kong.
Environmental staphylococcal contamination was investigated by culture of 400 automated teller machines (ATMs). Isolates were characterized for antibiotic and antiseptic susceptibility, carriage of antiseptic resistance genes (QAC genes), and spa types. MRSA, which was similar to local clinical isolates, was present on two (0·5%) of the 62 (15·5%) ATMs that yielded Staphylococcus aureus. QAC ge...
متن کاملSecure Bio-Cryptographic Authentication System for Cardless Automated Teller Machines
Security is a vital issue in the usage of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for cash, cashless and many off the counter banking transactions. Weaknesses in the use of ATM machine could not only lead to loss of customer’s data confidentiality and integrity but also breach in the verification of user’s authentication.

متن کاملImmunising Automated Teller Machines
This paper presents an immune-inspired adaptable error detection (AED) framework for Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). This framework two levels, one level is local to a single ATM, while the other is a network-wide adaptable error detection. It employs ideas from vaccination, and adaptability analogies of the immune system. For discriminating between normal and erroneous states, an immune insp...
