A new style keyboard which is user friendly and can be used efficiently in a small area is proposed in this paper. The most pre-existing keyboards were using the style of selecting a key among the arranged keys even the formats of key arrangement and the ways of using them were different. A new style of information input device called Dynamic Keyboard(DynaKey) is designed in this paper. Dynakey is a useful information input device which can be used efficiently for a mobile device with small display and for handicapped persons who has difficulties of selecting precise positions.

Most mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have a soft keyboard implemented on the LCD touch screen to receive text inputs from the user. Because the size of the LCD screen is small, many efforts are going on to develop efficient soft keyboard with less key buttons. Especially, Hangul soft keyboard needs much time, effort, and deep software technology in developing an Hangul automata program module. This paper introduces design and implementation details of our authoring tool for Hangul soft keyboard running in Android. The tool supports the user to build an unique soft keyboard easily. The authoring tool downloads the soft keyboard app to the user's smartphone and makes it run immediately.

It is growing to use the E-Commerce, recently However, if a cracking tool that detects e keyboard input is set up, users' input values and personal information could be taken away. This paper shows the design and implementation of security system that prevent the keyboard input information leaking. The ideas of thus paper are encrypting the keyboard input values with using the keyboard interrupt hooking, the browser embedding program's decrypting the values in case of need and decrypting all values in the web server. The own input control was developed for direct attacks to the browser, and that the values of password fields which are showed as *(asterisk character) won't be decrypted in the client PC is different from other commercial keyboard input security systems. Consequently, this paper shows the chance of realizing a lot safer customer information protective system than before.

In this paper, we analyzed the vulnerability of information leakage due to the leakage electromagnetic waves of a PC keyboard. First, we reviewed the keyboard protocol and hardware structure, we analyzed the correlation between the data signal, which is transmitted from the keyboard to the main body, and the leakage signal on the power cable. With the result, we grasped the cause of the Conducted Emission of a PC keyboard. Also, we compared the limit level of the CISPR 22 standard with the amplitude of the keyboard leakage electromagnetic waves we calculated. By analyzing the signal on the power cable of the PC main body through the simple experiment, we show that it is possible to extract the contents of the PC key. Therefore it is verified that the secret information of the PC user could leak out.

This paper proposes an effective countermeasure to an intrinsic hardware vulnerability of the keyboard controller that causes sniffing problem on the password authentication system based on the keyboard input string. Through the vulnerability, some possible attacker is able to snoop whole the password string input from the keyboard even when any of the existing keyboard protection software is running. However, it will be impossible for attackers to gather the exact password strings if the proposed policy is applied to the authentication system though they can sniff the keyboard hardware protocol. It is expected that people can use secure Internet commerce after implementing and applying the proposed policy to the real environment.

In this paper, we describe the effective way of keyboard-hacking prevention and authentication system using a Smart Card. These days the securing information matters for pc-users are becoming more important as the internet business grows rapidly, and the ubiquitous computing environment is open tot everyone. Therefore, PC authentication is necessary to handle the access control to the target PC. Also, the keyboard-inputting information is necessary to be protected properly against the malicious attack. In this paper, we propose the keyboard-hacking protect systems and authentication system using a Smart Card, and show the conveniency and efficiency in the results.

The present paper focuses on the comparison of user experience of mobile phone keypad and touchpad. Mobile phone has recently adopted a touchpad keyboard style and it gives users advantages and disadvantages as well. This paper examined usability, usefulness, affect and attitude of those two keyboard styles and disclosed interesting outcomes. First, keypad is better than touchpad in usefulness and usability. Second, touchpad is better than keypad in affect. Finally, touchpad is better than keypad in attitude. Overall, although touchapd is evaluated as worse keyboard in usability and usefulness, test subjects favored touchpad keyboard because it is more emotional and affective. It implies new digital device including mobile phone has to get more affective appeal to the young users and emotion will be a key point in digital consumption.

Dynamic adaptation method is an effective technique to enhance the usability by personalizing the soft keyboard layout using the user's key input information. In this paper, we propose a dynamic adaptation method of a keyboard by automatically extracting typos from key input information and using adjacent-typo information classified through the relationship between typos. This technique does not limit a range of adaptation to the inside of the key but extends the range to the neighbor key so that the adaptation effect can be achieved in a wide range at a high speed, thereby the proposed method improves the usability of the keyboard with a small number of inputs. The proposed method showed 25% increase in usability compared to the existing method through experiment and it was confirmed that usability improves up to 33% when used with the existing method.

In this paper, we evaluated the performance of recommendation and run time of the MissLess soft keyboard developed in the previous research. The MissLess keyboard assigns a hash code per each word for all words within its mobile dictionary. It decides recommendation words through three consecutive processes such as hash filtering, sorting based on spelling similarity, and finally recommendation based on frequency of use. Each process has some factors to have an impact on the recommendation success. We conducted experiments in an Android mobile device running the MissLess keyboard and measured performance of recommendation and run time overhead according to the impact factors. In this paper, we showed the experiment results.

In order to use online financial services, user authentication technology is necessary. Password check through keyboard typing is the most common technique. However, since it became known that key stokes on the keyboard can be intercepted easily, many Internet banking services and easy payment services have adopted the virtual keyboard. However, contrary to the expectation that the virtual keyboard will be safe, there is a risk that key strokes on the virtual keyboard can be leaked. In this paper, we analyzed the possibility of password leaking on the virtual keyboard and presented a password leaking method using mouse event hooking and screen capture in PC operating system. In addition, we inspected the possibility of password leak attacks on several famous Korea Internet banking websites and simple payment services, and as a result, we verified that the password input method through the virtual keyboard in the PC operating system is not secure.
