A system and method is described for the touchless entry of a personal identification number (PIN) at a self-service terminal such as an automated teller machine (ATM). A mobile device includes a PIN entry application. The self-service terminal includes a wireless interface for communicating wirelessly with the PIN entry application in the mobile device. A communication channel is established between a particular customer's mobile device and the self-service terminal. The PIN entry application verifies a public key for the self-service terminal at the mobile device. The customer's PIN is encrypted by the PIN entry application at the mobile device using either an ephemeral symmetric encryption key or a one-time RSA PIN transport public key. The encrypted PIN is transmitted to an encryption processor at the self-service terminal. The encryption processor decrypts the PIN using the appropriate encryption key.

A method for touchless entry of a personal identification number (PIN) to a self-service terminal, the self-service terminal including an interface for communicating wirelessly with a mobile device, comprising:
The method of claim 1, further comprising generating an ephemeral symmetric encryption key at the mobile device.
The method of claim 2, further comprising encrypting the ephemeral symmetric encryption key using the public key at the mobile device.
The method of claim 3, further comprising transmitting the encrypted ephemeral symmetric encryption key to the self-service terminal.
The method of claim 4, further comprising decrypting the encrypted ephemeral symmetric encryption key at the self-service terminal using a private key for the self-service terminal, the private key corresponding to the public key for the self-service terminal.
The method of claim 5, wherein the PIN is encrypted using the ephemeral symmetric encryption key at the mobile device.
The method of claim 6, wherein the PIN is decrypted using the decrypted ephemeral symmetric encryption key at the self-service terminal.
The method of claim 1, wherein encrypting a PIN at the mobile device comprises:
The method of claim 8, further comprising signing the one-time public key at the self-service terminal with a private key for the self-service terminal, the private key corresponding to the public key for the self-service terminal.
The method of claim 9, further comprising verifying the signature of the one-time public key at the mobile device using the public key for the self-service terminal prior to encrypting the PIN using the one-time public key.
The method of claim 8, wherein the PIN is decrypted using a private key corresponding to the one-time public key.
The method of claim 1, further comprising:
The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the public key for the self-service terminal at the mobile device by reading a QR code version of the public key displayed on a display of the self-service terminal.
A method for touchless entry of a personal identification number (PIN) at a self-service terminal, the self-service terminal including a wireless interface for communicating wirelessly with a mobile device, comprising:
A system for touchless entry of a personal identification number (PIN), comprising:
The system of claim 15, wherein the PIN entry application is configured to:
The system of claim 16, wherein the encryption processor is configured to decrypt the encrypted ephemeral symmetric encryption key at the self-service terminal using a private key for the self-service terminal, the private key corresponding to the public key for the self-service terminal.
The system of claim 17, wherein the PIN entry application is configured to encrypt the PIN using the ephemeral symmetric encryption key and wherein the encryption processor is configured to decrypt the PIN using the decrypted ephemeral symmetric encryption key.
The system of claim 15, wherein the PIN entry application is configured to request a one-time public key from the self-service terminal, receive the one-time public key from the self-service terminal, and encrypt the PIN using the one-time public key.
The system of claim 19, wherein the encryption processor is configured to decrypt the PIN using a private key corresponding to the one-time public key.
