ThermoSecure: AI-driven thermal attacks on commonly used computer keyboards

• catchnear4321 4y ago
  > ABS keycaps retain the thermal trace of users presses for a longer period of time, making them more vulnerable to thermal attacks, with a 52% average attack accuracy compared to 14% for keyboards with PBT keycaps. “I couldn’t help but notice you were looking at my keyboard. It was the key caps, wasn’t it. (You can touch them if you want. Your hands are clean, right?) Sure they cost a little bit extra, roughly as much as the keyboard, but they aren’t for looks. No, these are going to protect me. From spies wielding thermal cameras.” Touch typing also helps. As do walls.
