ABSTRACT:
"Money in the 21st century will surely prove to be as different from the money of the
current century as our money is from that of the previous century. Just as fiat money
replaced specie-backed paper currencies, electronically initiated debits and credits will
become the dominant payment modes, creating the potential for private money to
compete
with government-issued currencies."
Just as every thing is getting under the shadow of “e” today we have paper currency
being replaced by electronic money or e-cash. Hardly a day
goes by without some mention in the financial press of new developments in "electronic
money". In the emerging field of
electronic commerce, novel buzzwords like smartcards,online

banking, digital cash, and electronic checks are being used to discuss money. But how are
these brand-new forms of payment secure? And most importantly, which of these
emerging secure electronic money technologies will survive into the next century?
These are some of the tough questions to answer but here’s a solution, which provides a
form of security to these modes of currency exchange using the “Biometrics
Technology”. The Money Pad introduced here uses the biometrics technology for Finger
Print recognition. Money Pad is a form of credit card or smartcard, which we name so.
Every time the user wants to access the Money Pad he has to make an impression of his
fingers which will be scanned and matched with the one in the hard disk of data base
server. If the finger print matches with the user’s he will be allowed to access and use the
Pad other wise the Money Pad is not accessible.
Thus providing a form of security to the ever-lasting transaction currency of the future
“e-cash”.
INTRODUCTION:
The 21st century will not be "cashless", as many now predict. However, it does seem
clear that the currency of the 21st century will be "paperless". Paper currency and checks
are gradually being substituted by smartcards, digital cash and instant transfers of funds.
The large paper bureaucracy of banks is quickly becoming redundant, burdensome, even
out of date .
The evolution in digital money is happening so fast that banks cannot
adopt quickly enough and will eventually collapse like top-heavy giants, blown over by
the winds of financial change. Maybe, or may not be, but one trend is already clear.
The wallet of the future will hold less paper cash, coins and magnetic stripe cards. It will
hold instead Money Pad containing digital cash and other financial information, updated
— perhaps automatically — by a PDA with a satellite communication link.
As the new technologies develop into new ways of making payment, one concern
naturally arises. Will this technology protect each individual's right to privacy while
providing the sound money needed for the economic health of communities? The answer
is simple — it depends on how the new technology is used. There is nothing inherent in
the technology that makes it less protective of privacy and individual rights.

Biometrics Technology has made individual privacy even more secure.
As developments in electronic money gather pace, protection of individual rights must be
kept in focus. Because the record of most governments so far in these early stages of
electronic commerce has been seen by many to be confrontational and not protective of
individual rights, it is likely that the preservation of these rights is one reason that private
currencies are likely to emerge on the Internet and to eventually play an important role in
global commerce.
In order to protect the rights and properties of each individual we thought of
providing a security system, which every human being can understand and feel free to
use.
Human beings feel secure when they have their own security arrangements to protect
their rights and as well as wealth. Keeping this point of view in mind the Biometrics
Technology is used to develop an e-cash handling system, which is similar to well known
credit cards and smartcards.
The e-cash handling system is a device that facilitates secure currency transactions. We
call it as Money Pad which recognises Finger Print’s of the user and decides weather the
user is a authorised person or not. Every time the user wants to access the Money Pad he
has to make an impression of his finger, which will be sensed and matched with the one
in the hard disk. If the finger print matches with the user’s he will be allowed to access
and use the Pad other wise the Money Pad is not accessible.

What is money pad,define money pad ,their working ,uses?
Money Pad is a method developed by Tobias Wong for binding bills (usually of one or
two dollar denominations) so that they can be easily carried around, and torn off the pad
whenever needed for payment.
Another type of Money Pad is a futuristic wallet that operates like a credit card or
smartcard, automatically verifying the user's identity before issuing cash debits:

Technical Details :
Basic Of The Present System:
Presently due to the usage of computers in almost all the fields the
demand for the utilization of Electronic Money have been increased. Payments made
today in nearly all of the deposit currencies in the world's banking systems are handled
electronically through a series of interbank computer networks. Credit cards and
smartcards are widely used to enter into these interbank computer networks in order to
perform transactions. These are the popular medium widely existing as a recent medium
of currency in the e-cash scenario. The mode of usage and the security provided by these
currency mediums are as follows.
Credit Card:
Credit cards are payment devices that allow the consumer to make purchases
within certain guaranteed limits as defined by the issuer of the card. To use a credit card
in most cases it is sufficient to present the merchant with the card number and the
Page 8

cardholder's name and expiration date of the card. These data can be conveniently
transmitted over the Internet. Furthermore, credit cards process funds by electronic
means. The user has to swap the card in the card reader machine then the machine asks
for authentication information like secret password etc. Later the user is allowed to
perform the transaction. These credit cards have several disadvantages like,
Disadvantages:
 Instant clearing of fund is not possible.
 User is always under the pressure of limits on purchase defined the
issuer of the card and also every transaction involves certain charges.
 Insecure transactions using fixed encryption.
 The card has to be renewed once it is expired.
 Insecure transactions using fixed encryption .
 Risk of data loss due to chip failure.
Smartcards:
A smartcard resembles a credit card except that it has a microchip
embedded within it, which allows the smartcard to store information and sometimes
to even perform simple calculations. Common smartcard chips typically holds about
8,000 bytes (characters) of information, which enables the smartcard to perform a
variety of functions such as identification, storing bank account information and
holding digital cash. Payment information in the form of currency value is stored on
this chip and can be retrieved with specially designed card readers.

business, banking etc. In the recent trend even money is available online at any time in
the form of digi-cash or cybercash etc. These are the recent medium of exchange, which
are necessary for the existence of e-banking. As in future the world is going to be paper
less cash the existence of e-cash will lead e-banking. In future internet is going to capture
the whole world and the private currency will become the media of exchange in e-banks
replacing the government currency. Keeping this point of view in mind and to over come
the above drawbacks of credit cards and smart cards here we present a medium of
exchange to carry digital cash wherever man wants, which we name as “Money Pad”.
Money Pad:
Money pad is one such medium of exchange, which aims to provide secure
means of currency exchange. It’s a means that carries digital cash, as paper cash is going
to extinct. “In order to use this money pad it is necessary to have at least one e-bank
in every city”.
Money pad is a biometric system similar to a credit card or a smart card just like a floppy
disk. It consists of a touch sensor and magnetic disk as its peripherals . Touch sensor is
used to record the fingerprint of the user. Magnetic disk, which has the read and write
permission is used to hold the authentication details of the user, bank code as well as
digi-cash. The bank code and account number of the owner of this money pad is present
on the label.
