"We show that PC keyboards, notebook keyboards, telephone and ATM pads are vulnerable to attacks based on differentiating the sound emanated by different keys. Our attack employs a neural network to recognize the key being pressed. We also investigate why different keys produce different sounds and provide hints for the design of homophonic keyboards that would be resistant to this type of attack."
- Gordonjcp 4y agoATM keypads are an extremely expensive component that you replace as a complete module, made out of a couple of chunks of very thick stainless steel and plastic with the PCB in the middle. They are specifically designed so that all the keys sound exactly the same, and individually tested at the manufacturer. This is something they've already thought about, back in the early 1990s.
