Topics
MiniCheck Introduction
Standalone application – Past Prototype
Project Purpose – Understanding Diagram
Project Requirements
Integration with Atalasoft & its demo
Improved UI of the Prototype
Excella STX Introduction
Excella STX – Check processing
MagnePrint Technology
MagnePrint working
MiniCheck-OCR, Inc has developed MiniCheck MGR which scans, stores and manages cheque and ID card information
MiniCheck MGR - electronically processes checks and validates IDs at the point-of-sale
Validates photo ID such as a drivers license to prevent fraud
Uses a set of advanced algorithms to decipher the electronically encoded data in either the magnetic strip or barcode
MiniCheck OCR - Introduction
ID Verification and Validation
Check Processing
Magnetic Strip IDs
Barcode IDs
- One Dimension
- Two Dimension
It combines: MICR and OCRMICR - Magnetic Imaging Character Recognition technology
OCR - Optical Character Recognition technology
Types of Parsing
Standalone Application
MiniCheck-OCR cannot parse user information from barcode and magnetic information
The previous capstone project team has developed a standalone application in .NET and C#
This prototype uses Clear Image, a parsing API, to provide this functionality in a separate standalone application.
Standalone Application - Prototype
Project Purpose
Understanding Diagram
Prototype to be integrated into MiniCheck and its variations
Integrating the parsing of 1-d and 2-d barcode information of driver licenses and ID cards into MiniCheck
Integrating the parsing of magnetic information of driver license
Integrating Atalasoft parser into the Prototype
Integrate the Magtek STX "All-In-One“ and Neat Receipts to the Prototype
Integrate the MagnePrint technology
Requirements
The prototype used ClearImage as a parsing API
This was a limited period licensed software
Also ClearImage not very consistent for images of different
resolutions
Other options available: Atalasoft & DTK Different barcode parsers were surveyed and Atalasoft was
found to be more cost effective and accurate
1D and 2D barcode parsing using Atalasoft
Integration with Atalasoft
Short demo on Integration with Atalasoft
UI of the Prototype & Improved UI
Excella STX
Ability: It can read the MICR info from a check
It reads track 1, 2, 3 and MagnePrint information from the magnetic stripe
It captures color image of an ID card.
Excella STX
ID cards have 3 tracks in the magnetic part. These tracks store information: The Track 1 and 3 contain alpha-numeric information Track 2 stores numeric information.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3State and CityStreet AddressName
License Number GenderPostal Code
MTXMLMGR.dll is stored in C:\Windows\System32 after we
installed the demo software
The API is written in C
We send the options to the machine by XML key/value
pairs so we also needs another Microsoft API is
MSXML.dll
Excella STX API
Excella STX Check processing
MagnePrint Technology
MagTek is a world leader in electronic transaction technology. Some of the technologies include: Magnetic stripe card readers and writers High-accuracy MICR check readers and scanners Cardholder verification systems.
The company's products and components are in use today at point-of-sale (POS) and back-office locations
Magtek Inc.
MagnePrint is developed to generate a numeric value This value serves as the digital fingerprint of the specific magnetic stripe credit card or debit card
MagnePrint is able to detect cards That have been illegally reproduced (skimmed) That have had their data re-encoded or magnetically altered
What is MagnePrint
The MagnePrint is in the background of the stripe It cannot be altered or copied. It is like the DNA. It does not interfere with the cardholder personal data encoded in the foreground. It is repeatedly and reliably detected Special circuitry is required to read the low-level noise in the MagnePrint
MagnePrint Properties
MagnePrint Properties
Unique noise signature is converted to 54 bytes of data by the MagnePrint-capable reader
MagnePrint Working
Card Authentication Method (CAM)
MagnePrint Working
Capture the Reference MagnePrint
MagnePrint Working
Capture the Transaction MagnePrint
MagnePrint Working
Verify the Transaction MagnePrint
MagnePrint Working
Score the Transaction MagnePrint against the Reference MagnePrint
Reduce card-skimming fraud at POS and ATMs
Provide secure two-factor authentication log-in for Home Banking and PC Networks
Decreases non-repudiation disputes
Low cost to implement and easily integrates into existing infrastructures
