Abstract
In this paper, we suggested the methodology of analyzing and reconstructing of measured electromagnetic emanations from the Micro Controller Unit(MCU) chip of Universal Serial Bus(USB) keyboard. By analyzing electromagnetic emanations, entered information is found at keystroke and furthermore, information security problems such as personal information leakage and eavesdropping can be arisen. USB keyboards make the radiated signal according to the signal transmission mechanism. Electromagnetic emanations were measured by log periodic antenna and wideband receiver and were analyzed by signal processing algorithm.
