Transportation plays a vital role in ones life. The main goal of this paper is to eradicate the day to day and one of the major problems with regard to carrying a ticket during transportation from ones life and make traveling a lot more peaceful. For this purpose, we are proposing a biometric-based ticketing system in the metro railway scenario but not limited to the same. In order to get a unique identifier for each person, we are considering their fingerprint right away from registration, booking tickets and validating the fingerprint on the day of the journey so he/she can travel on a particular day and on the desired train to his/her preferred destination. The fingerprint sensor will be interfaced with Arduino which in turn will store the fingerprint data to the cloud. We are proposing a two-way encryption standard for storing the sensitive fingerprint data in the cloud. This two-way encryption standard involves encrypting the data during data generation at the hardware end and encrypting it again before storing it in the cloud database. © 2019 Procedia Computer Science.
