Abstract

Automatic teller machines, Internet kiosks etc. are examples of public untrusted terminals. One of the security concerns in such systems is the so called fake terminal attack: the attacker sets up a fake terminal and fools unsuspecting user into revealing sensitive information, such as PINs. In this paper, we examine this problem in different scenarios and propose appropriate solutions. Our basic approach is to find ways for a user to authenticate a public terminal before using it to process sensitive information.
