PREVENTION OF SWIPE CARD MISUSE
IN CASE OF THEFT
ABSTRACT
The advent of swipe cards has created a great revolution in purchase of products. The swipe cards are widely used in these days for e-purchasing. But this makes the swipe card prone to get misused. It just includes an alert message that the amount has been debited and the shop from where the product is purchased. There is a severe disadvantage that it could not ensure that the legitimate user/owner of the card is only swiping and debiting the amount from the card. Our system overcomes this drawback by adding features to ensure that only authorized users are debiting amount from the cards and misuse is prevented. Our system also makes sure that the person who misused the swipe card is caught and security is enforced.
