the guide providing unit displays the guide to guide the user to bring the edge of the user's hand into contact with the display unit along the guide.

2. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first sensor that detects whether an input means of the user touches the display unit; and

a second sensor that detects whether the input means of the user comes in a preset distance from an area where the guide is provided,

wherein the control unit activates the security channel interface when the user touches the display unit and the input means of the user is in proximity to the preset distance from the area provided by the guide providing unit.

3. The security channel interface providing device of claim 2 ,

wherein the guide providing unit displays a circular guide having a preset diameter.

4. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first sensor that detects whether an input means of the user touches the display unit; and

a second sensor that detects whether the user tilts the security channel interface providing device,

wherein the control unit activates the security channel interface when the user touches the display unit and tilts the security channel interface providing device more than a preset threshold.

5. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 ,

wherein the security channel is an one-time password (OTP).

6. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 ,

wherein the control unit provides a password input interface, and

when a password provided to the user through the security channel is matched with a password input by the user through the password input interface, a security state set by the password input interface is reset.

7. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 ,

wherein when at least one of the sensed sensing values is not maintained after the security channel is activated, the control unit resets the security channel to an inactive state.

8. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 ,

wherein the control unit provides a password input interface,

when all digits of a password provided to the user through the security channel and all digits of a password input by the user through the password input interface are matched, a security state set by the password input interface is reset, and

a suggested password value corresponding to a digit of the password to be input is displayed on the security channel, and the displayed password value is increased or decreased by the user's manipulation of the password input interface until the displayed password value is matched with the password value at the digit of the password to be input.

9. The security channel interface providing device of claim 8 ,

wherein when the user selects one of error removal buttons the number of which is the same with the number of digits of the password, the password value input operation is performed at a digit of the password corresponding to the selected error removal button.

10. The security channel interface providing device of claim 8 ,

wherein the control unit randomly selects the suggested password value or selects a password value at a digit prior to the digit of the password to be input.

11. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 , when the security channel interface is activated, the security channel interface displays confidential information used for a password.

12. The security channel interface providing device of claim 1 ,

wherein a physical security maintenance degree of the security channel interface is adjusted depending on the motion of the user.

13. A security channel interface providing method using a security channel interface providing device, the security channel interface providing method comprising:

from at least two sensors provided in a security channel interface, receiving sensing values of a motion of a user generated when a guide for inducing a motion of the user is provided;

determining whether or not the at least two sensing values sensed by the sensors satisfy a security channel interface activation condition;

activating or inactivating the security channel interface according to a result of the determination; and

providing a security channel to the user when the security channel interface is activated, and

displaying a guide and the security channel interface on a display unit, and

wherein the guide is displayed to guide the user to bring the edge of the user's hand into contact with the display unit along the guide.

14. The security channel interface providing method of claim 13 ,

wherein in the determining whether or not the at least two sensing values sensed by the sensors satisfy a security channel interface activation condition,

based on a sensing value received from a first sensor that detects whether an input means of the user touches the display unit and a sensing value received from a second sensor that detects whether the input means of the user comes in a preset distance from an area where the guide is provided,

when the user touches the display unit and the input means of the user is in proximity to the preset distance from the area provided by the guide providing unit, it is determined that the security channel interface activation condition is satisfied.

15. The security channel interface providing method of claim 14 ,

wherein the guide includes a circular guide having a preset diameter.

16. The security channel interface providing method of claim 13 ,

wherein in the determining whether or not the at least two sensing values sensed by the sensors satisfy a security channel interface activation condition,

based on a sensing value received from a first sensor that detects whether an input means of the user touches the display unit and a sensing value received from a second sensor that detects whether the user tilts the security channel interface providing device, when the user touches the display unit and tilts the security channel interface providing device more than a preset threshold, it is determined that the security channel interface activation condition is satisfied.

17. The security channel interface providing method of claim 13 ,

wherein the providing a security channel to the user comprises:

(a) displaying a suggested password value corresponding to a digit of the password to be input on the security channel interface;

(b) increasing or decreasing the displayed password value by the user's manipulation of the password input interface;

(c) repeating the step (b) until the displayed password value is matched with a password value at the digit of the password to be input; and

(d) repeating the step (a) to step (c) for all digits of the password.

18. The security channel interface providing method of claim 17 ,

wherein the step (d) further comprises:

when the user selects one of error removal buttons the number of which is the same with the number of digits of the password, performing the step (b) to d) for a digit of the password corresponding to the selected error removal button.

19. The security channel interface providing method of claim 13 ,

wherein a physical security maintenance degree of the security channel interface is adjusted depending on the motion of the user.
