Banks use encryption methods all around the world to process financial transactions and to protect their customers ID numbers at bank automated teller machines (ATM). Banks, all over the world, use symmetric ciphering algorithms like TDES to process financial transactions. These involve transfer of huge amount of money from one bank to another. Recently, Biometric ATM's are the latest inventions to help us avoid fraud and duplication. If somebody steals our card and knows our PIN, they can easily withdraw cash from our account. In case of biometric ATM's they cannot. Usually the PIN for bio ATM's is the finger print of the cardholder or his eye retina scan etc. These cannot be duplicated and hence they are very safe and secure. This paper will present a multimodal system for encryption and decryption data, any types of data received via a network in Banks. So by the end of this paper we get a biometric ATM prototype including different levels of security using biometric encryption. Besides that, our module presents a new symmetric system that will bring the simplest symmetric algorithm (DES, Data Encryption Standard) to the life. This system is called DES-EC as it is modified DES using the elliptic Curve (EC). (Ghada Abdelhady, Mohammed Ismail, Hussam Elbehiery. Multimodal Biometrics Cryptosystem using Elliptic
