In the fintech environment, Smart phones are mainly used for various service. User authentication technology is required to use safe services. Authentication is performed by transmitting authentication information to the server when the PIN or password is entered and touch the button completing authentication. But A post-attack is possible because the smudge which is the trace of using screen remains instead of recording attack with a camera or SSA(Shoulder Surfing Attack). To prevent smudge attacks, users must erase their fingerprints after authentication. In this study, we proposed a technique to determine whether to erase fingerprints. The proposed method performed erasing fingerprint which is the trace of touching after entering PIN and designed the security keypads that processes instead of entering completion button automatically when determined whether the fingerprint has been erased or not. This method suggests action that must erase the fingerprint when entering password. By this method, A user must erase the fingerprint to complete service request and can block smudge attack.
