F. Biometric Credit Card
The introduction of the world’s first card less payment service was launched by Citibank in Singapore on November 9, 2006[19]. The service employed technology used by a biometric authentication vendor Pay-By-Touch. This meant at the time of purchase Citibank Clear Platinum Card holders no longer need to present their plastic card. They are now required to simply scan their finger on a biometric scanner and enter a seven digit "Personal Search Number".
Biometrics credit card manufacturer’s assertion is that processing of these cards versus traditional credit cards is more secure [20]. The merchant will install a biometric reader at his register. The customer’s ID data would be entered once only, along with payment information and picture ID. The scanner reads the finger print [21] capturing 40 points of information, encrypting and then store this information. This delivers higher security, due to the fact that no two fingerprints are alike. Fingerprint pictures are eliminated, once ID and payment information are recorded to the scanning processor. For future transactions all you need is to swipe your finger to complete transactions. Payment by touch systems facilitates shorter processing time for transactions.
Biometric payment technology enables the consumer to pay by the touch of a finger on scanner linked to a payment wallet. The fingerprint is transmitted through a linked router and media required to approve the transaction through an automated process. Providers of biometric payment solutions require the completion of a pre-enrollment process, which captures necessary information such as personal identification, fingerprint and banking information. So taking all these into consideration we here have developed an Agent based system towards booking hotel using Biometric information which is secured and trustable. The development been carried out on latest Android handset that is been explained in forthcoming sections.
