- Now-a-days many unauthorized access and theft takes place in ATM machines. In general, all the keypad based authentication system has several possibilities of password guessing by means of shoulder movements and skimming device attacks. Shoulder-surfing is an attack on password authentication that has traditionally been hard to defeat. At the same time the growth of mobile technology, with regard to availability of services and devices like Smartphone’s has created new phenomenon for communication and data processing ability to do Daily Works. One such phenomenon that has emerged in the Social work Environment is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), which means that users can use their personal device to access company resources for work, inside or outside organizational environment. This paper proposes a Wireless Pin Authentication Method (WPAM) for secure transactions using BYOD trend. In addition to that Kerberos authentication protocol is used for user’s authentication.Hence, considered as a reasonable tradeoff between security, usability and cost. So, this paper mainly concentrates on providing efficient security to ATM against theft.
