New acoustic attack steals data from keystrokes with 95% accuracy

A team of researchers from British universities has trained a deep learning model that can steal data from keyboard keystrokes recorded using a microphone with an accuracy of 95%.

all fun and games until a deep learning model can read your thoughts from the way you're walking

Custom keyboard layout goes BRRRRRRRR!

substitution ciphers are easy to crack

unless you configure your keyboard to change to a random layout every key press

#

that'd make typing pretty fun

Online keyboards that banks use work that way, they change layout every time you click on a key

Nope, they would need to train a new AI with that keyboard layout. The AI input is not characters sounds, is the relative time that takes to go from one character to other, and that changes with a different layout. The output is the sentence with highest probability to match that sequence of relative times.
