Abstract: A highly reliable automatic transaction system is capable of minimizing damage caused by malware. In an automatic transaction system, a first storage unit stores first transaction information in a paper currency transaction device and a second storage unit stores first transaction information in an external device. In a second transaction, a transaction after a first transaction, an ATM control unit sends second transaction information as information related to an amount to be handled in the second transaction, an external device sends the first transaction information from the second storage unit, and the paper currency handling device receives the second transaction information, and the external device sends the first transaction information, and determines whether the first transaction information stored in the first storage unit and the first transaction information sent by the external device are a match. When a match occurs paper currencies are transferred based on the second amount information.

Abstract: An automatic transaction device includes a first device mounted internally and a control unit that controls devices send and receive data between the first device and the control unit. The first device executes processing that generates a first code relating to the first device and sends same to the control unit and executes processing that verifies a second code received from the control unit and generates an encryption key in accordance with the verification results. The control unit executes: processing whereby, after the first code has been received, verification is made that the operation environment is within the automatic transaction device; and processing whereby, if a determination is made that the operation environment is within the automatic transaction device, a second code is generated and sent to the first device.
