Abstract Contemporary banking focuses on self-service and customer-centric experience by harnessing Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing. However, these systems remain vulnerable to multifaceted cyberattacks. The IoT-Cloud-based systems can be safeguarded through authentication, confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, and non-repudiation. This work proposes a multi-stage security consisting of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for facial authentication, hybrid Curvelet and Least-Significant-Bit (LSB) Steganography for data protection, and Ethereum Blockchain for transactions and storage security to provide complete protection to the self-service pipeline. Customers are authenticated using live images from IoT cameras by GAN facial recognition. Improved data concealment… More >
