Abstract

Financial inclusion in Peru is on the rise, with 56% of adults already having financial products. This has increased the use of ATMs and the risks associated with them, such as shoulder surfing. To mitigate the risk of this attack, a proof of concept of a touchless interface that allows users to enter their PIN securely was developed, proposing an example for use by banking institutions or ATM manufacturers. For this purpose, randomly disordered sequences of numbers from 0 to 9 were generated without repeating them. Then, infrared sensors were implemented to enter the PIN numbers. Mitigation and usability tests were performed with a group of 16 people. The first test showed encouraging results, as the attackers found it difficult to identify the digits entered by the users and only managed to register 25% correctly. Likewise, in the usability tests, an usability average of 78.4375 was obtained, placing the interface in a B+ range, above the threshold of 68 points. Considering this, it is concluded that the proposal meets the objective of allowing the user to enter his PIN securely against shoulder surfing attacks.
