1. Design and describe an application-level protocol to be used between an automatic teller machine and a bank’s centralized computer. You protocol should allow a user’s card and password to be verified, the account balance (which is maintained at the centralized computer) to be queried, and an account withdrawal to be made (that is, money disbursed to the user). Your protocol entities should be able to handle the

all-too-common case in which there is not enough money in the account to cover the withdrawal. Specify your protocol by listing the messages exchanged and the action taken by the automatic teller machine or the bank’s centralized computer on transmission and receipt of messages. Sketch the operation of your protocol for the case of a simple withdrawal with no errors, using a diagram similar to that in Figure 1.2. Explicitly state the assumption made by your protocol about underlying end-to-end transport service. Answers:

Messages from ATM machine to Server

Msg name purpose

-------- -------
