According to the Money.co.uk, wired computer keyboard entry can be decyphered and translated in realtime using radio technology. From the article:
Researchers from the Security and Cryptography Laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland, have discovered that by using a simple radio antenna it is possible to remotely identify the key strokes entered into a wired computer keyboard from a distance of up to 20 meters away.
Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini, doctoral students at EPFL, are the brains behind the research. They discovered that by analysing the electromagnetic waves produced by individual keystrokes it was possible to interpret exactly what was being typed in real time.
Now I’m waiting to see how long it takes for some wise guy to design a government grade “stealth” keyboard.
