Abstract:
In all keypad based access system or authentication system there are high chances of password being overseen by unknown person who are standing near you. Or low lying persons can intentionally note you finger movements on the keypad and try to guess the password. Especially in ATM counter whenever you want to withdraw money you have to enter pin and then get access to your account. But if someone sees how you are entering the password they can make out you pin then only thing is they have to get you ATM card for that they can do pick pocketing or they can assault you and snatch the ATM card now as already they have finger movements of yours in the mind they can enter you pin and withdraw the money.
Not only in ATM, we are using keypads at many places and our own finger movements are putting our security at risk, for this problem we have come up with an innovative solution of shuffling keypad which will confuse the culprits and they would not be able to detect the password from our finger movements on the keypad.
Our idea is to implement a shuffling keypad whose key arrangement will change after every use, even if in last use the password was not accepted. Every time you use the keypad next time you will get different layout.
