Abstract

An ATM equipped with forensic card reader identification validation is provided. The ATM may include a real ID card slot. The real ID card slot may accept real ID cards. The ATM may include a call communications module. The call communications module may communicate with a third-party network. Upon insertion of a real ID card at the ATM, the ATM may retrieve security details from the real ID card. The ATM may transmit the security details to the third-party network via the call communications module. The third-party network may verify the security details with one or more databases which are accessible by the third-party network. Upon failure to verify the security details, the third-party network may transmit a failed verification response to the ATM.

Claims (40)

1. An automated teller machine (“ATM”) equipped with forensic card reader identification validation, the ATM comprising:

a real identifier card slot, said real identifier card slot operable to accept real identifier cards;

a call communications module, said call communications module operable to communicate with:

a third-party network; and

a financial institution network;

wherein upon insertion of a real identifier card at the ATM:

the ATM is operable to assign a security level to a transaction request, said transaction request initiated at the insertion of the real identifier card, at the ATM;

based on the security level assigned to the transaction request, the ATM is operable to read one or more levels of security details from the real identifier card, the levels of security details comprising:

a first security detail level, the first security detail level corresponding to a plurality of overt security details, said plurality of overt security details comprising:

holograms;

colored ink; and

security threads;

a second security detail level, the second security detail level corresponding to a plurality of covert security details, said plurality of covert security details comprising:

ultraviolet (“UV”) images;

hidden text and

hidden items; and/or

a third security detail level, the third security detail level corresponding to a plurality of forensic security details, said forensic security details comprising:

nanotext;

nanoimages;

document DNA (“deoxyribonucleic acid”); and

substrate analysis;

the ATM is operable to transmit the security details, included in the one or more levels of security details, to the third-party network via the call communications module;

the third-party network is operable to verify the security details, included in the one or more levels of security details, with one or more databases which are accessible by the third-party network;

upon verification of the security details, the third-party network is operable to transmit a verification response to the ATM;

in response to receiving the verification response, the ATM is operable to:

prompt a user for a transaction request; and

receive the transaction request from the user;

the call communications module is operable to transmit the transaction request to the financial institution network;

the financial institution network is operable to process the transaction request; and

the financial institution is operable to transmit a notification to the ATM, said notification comprising completion of processing of the transaction request; and

upon receipt of the completion of the processing of the transaction request, the ATM is operable to display the notification on the ATM.

2. The ATM of claim 1 , wherein the verification response comprises:

a verification approval;

a failed verification; and/or

a request for a biometric identifier.

3. The ATM of claim 2 , wherein, when the verification response comprises a request for a biometric identifier, in response to receiving the verification response, the ATM is also operable to request a biometric identifier from the user.

4. The ATM of claim 3 , wherein, in response to receipt of the biometric identifier from the user, the ATM transmits the biometric identifier to the third-party network for verification.

5. The ATM of claim 4 , wherein the third-party network verifies the biometric identifier with the one or more databases.

6. The ATM of claim 5 , wherein the third-party network transmits a biometric identifier verification to the ATM.

7. The ATM of claim 5 , wherein, the ATM is operable to prompt the user for the transaction request upon receipt of the biometric identifier verification.
