Hello,

No experience with Biometric used with ATM machines. However, iris
recognition is probably one of the most foolproof methods for use in
identification. Face recognition, as well as fingerprinting can be duped.
Iris recognition is impossible. There is no way to alter the blood vessels
inside the cornea.

Sorry i cant provide the source, but i remember hearing about a study
done in Japan. This particular team found that iris authentication could
be circumvented by using dye in eyes like eye drops. It some how threw
off the technique enough to bypass that particular method.

Does anybody know about any real life experience about deploying
biometric  authentication inside bank ATM (Automated Teller Machines)
kiosks?

  What has been the best efficient biometric security method:
fingerprinting? iris recognition? face recognition?

Thanks,
Ulisses
