The Real Time Gross Settlement System is the key critical element and
provides the missing link in the process of the setting up the integrated
payment and settlement system in the country. The world over, the
RTGS is now the preferred mode of the settlement of large-value
interbank payments with more and more countries moving towards it.
As a settlement process RTGS , minimizes settlement risks by setting
individual payment in real time in the books of account, held at the
6
central bank. The RTGS , practically instant settlement ensures fast
secure, final and irrevocable settlement of payment transactions. The
RTGS System is designed to provide large value funds transfer and
settlement in an on-line real time environment to the banking industry
with settlement on a gross basis.
A large value of funds transfer system, whereby financial intermediaries
can settle interbank transfers for their own account as well as for their
customers, the RTGS system effects final settlement of interbank funds
transfer on a continuous, transaction by transaction basis throughout the
processing day. The RTGS eliminates settlement risks in the case of
interbank and high value transactions. The banks can use balances
maintained under the Cash Reserve Ratio instead of the Intra-Day
liquidity (IDL) to be supplied by the Central Bank for meeting any
eventually arising out of the RTGS. The RBI has fixed the IDL limit for
the banks to three times their Net Owned Funds (NOF). The IDL is
charged at Rs.25 per transaction entered into by the bank on the RTGS
platform.
RTGS is the ultimate in the payment and settlement architecture in any
country primarily for online, real time interbank payment and
settlement of large value funds. RTGS payment system can also be
called as one in which payment instructions between banks are
processed and settled individually and continuously throughout the
day.

ATM vaults are supplied by manufacture, regulatory requirements,
ATM type, operator risk avoidance practices and internal volume
requirements. Industry standard vault configurations
include Underwriters Laboratories UL-291 "Business Hours" and Level 1
Safes, RAL TL-30 derivatives, and CEN EN 1143-1 - CEN III and CEN
IV.
ATM manufacturers recommend that an ATM vault be attached to the
floor to prevent theft. Though there is a record of a theft conducted by
tunneling into an ATM floor.
SOFTWARE
With the migration to commodity Personal Computer hardware,
standard commercial "off-the-shelf" operating systems, and
programming environments can be used inside of ATMs. Typical
platforms previously used in ATM development include RMX or OS/2.
Today the vast majority of ATMs worldwide use a Microsoft Windows
OS, primarily Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Embedded. A
small number of deployments may still be running older versions of
Windows OS such as Windows NT, Windows CE, or Windows 2000.
There is a computer industry security view that general public desktop
operating systems have greater risks as operating systems for cash
dispensing machines than other types of operating systems like
44
(secure) real-time operating systems (RTOS). RISKS Digest has many
articles about cash machine operating system vulnerabilities.
Linux is also finding some reception in the ATM marketplace. An
example of this is Banrisul, the largest bank in the south of Brazil, which
has replaced the MS-DOS operating systems in its ATMs with
Linux. Banco do Brasil is also migrating ATMs to Linux.
Common application layer transaction protocols, such as Diebold 91x
(911 or 912) and NCR NDC or NDC+ provide emulation of older
generations of hardware on newer platforms with incremental
extensions made over time to address new capabilities, although
companies like NCR continuously improve these protocols issuing
newer versions (e.g. NCR's AANDC v3.x.y, where x. y are subversions).
Most major ATM manufacturers provide software packages that
implement these protocols. Newer protocols such as IFX have yet to find
wide acceptance by transaction processors.
With the move to a more standardized software base, financial
institutions have been increasingly interested in the ability to pick and
choose the application programs that drive their equipment.WOSA/XFS,
now known as CEN XFS (or simply XFS), provides a common API for
accessing and manipulating the various devices of an ATM. J/XFS is a
Java implementation of the CEN XFS API.
While the perceived benefit of XFS is similar to the Java's "Write once,
run anywhere" mantra, often different ATM hardware vendors have
different interpretations of the XFS standard. The result of these
differences in interpretation means that ATM applications typically use
a middleware to even out the differences between various platforms.
With the onset of Windows operating systems and XFS on ATM's, the
software applications have the ability to become more intelligent. This
has created a new breed of ATM applications commonly referred to as
programmable applications. These types of applications allows for an
entirely new host of applications in which the ATM terminal can do
more than only communicate with the ATM switch. It is now
empowered to connect to other content servers and video
banking systems.
45
Notable ATM software that operates on XFS platforms include Triton
PRISM, Diebold AngelisEmpower, NCR APTRAEdge, Absolute
Systems Absolute INTERACT, KAL Kainite, Phoenix Interactive
VISTAatm, and Wincor NixdorfProTopas.
With the move of ATMs to industry-standard computing environments,
concern has risen about the integrity of the ATM's software stack.
Transactional secrecy and integrity
The security of ATM transactions relies mostly on the integrity of the
secure crypto processor: the ATM often uses general commodity
components that sometimes are not considered to be "trusted systems".
Encryption of personal information, required by law in many
jurisdictions, is used to prevent fraud. Sensitive data in ATM
transactions are usually encrypted with DES, but transaction processors
now usually require the use of Triple DES. Remote Key Loading
techniques may be used to ensure the secrecy of the initialization of the
encryption keys in the ATM. Message Authentication Code (MAC)
or Partial MAC may also be used to ensure messages have not been
tampered with while in transit between the ATM and the financial
network.
Alternative uses
Although ATMs were originally developed as just cash dispensers, they
have evolved to include many other bank-related functions. In some
countries, especially those which benefit from a fully integrated cross-
bank ATM network (e.g.: Multibanco in Portugal), ATMs include many
functions which are not directly related to the management of one's own
bank account, such as:
46

Postage stamps.
Lottery tickets
Train tickets
Concert tickets

Gold - "In London last week [in 2011] some smart businessmen

money for a small bar of the real stuff."
Games and promotional features
Fast loans
CRM at the ATM
Donating to charities
Cheque Processing Module
Paying (in full or partially) the credit balance on a card linked to a
specific current account.
Transferring money between linked accounts (such as transferring
between checking and savings accounts)
Increasingly banks are seeking to use the ATM as a sales device to
deliver pre approved loans and targeted advertising using products
such as ITM (the Intelligent Teller Machine) from Aptra Relate from
NCR. ATMs can also act as an advertising channel for companies to
advertise their own products or third-party products and services.
In Canada, ATMs are called guichets automatiques in French and
sometimes "Bank Machines" in English. The Interact shared cash
network does not allow for the selling of goods from ATMs due to
specific security requirements for PIN entry when buying
goods. CIBC machines in Canada are able to top-up the minutes on
certain pay as you go phones.
Manufacturers have demonstrated and have deployed several different
technologies on ATMs that have not yet reached worldwide acceptance,
such as:
47
Biometrics, where authorization of transactions is based on the
scanning of a customer's fingerprint, iris, face, etc. Biometrics on
ATMs can be found in Asia.
Cheque/Cash Acceptance, where the ATM accepts and recognize
cheques and/or currency without using envelopes Expected to grow
in importance in the US through Check 21legislation.
Bar code scanning
On-demand printing of "items of value" (such as movie
tickets, traveler's cheques, etc.)
Dispensing additional media (such as phone cards)
Co-ordination of ATMs with mobile phones
