20100185876 | KEYBOARD-INPUT INFORMATION-SECURITY APPARATUS AND METHOD - A keyboard-input information-security apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes an interrupt-descriptor table for storing a list of addresses of functions for handling interrupts, and storing an address of a secure input interrupt-service routine at a specific location in an address area for an operating-system input interrupt-service routine supported by an operating system; a secure input-device driver for changing keyboard-interrupt-vector information to invoke the address of the secure input interrupt-service routine when a keyboard interrupt is generated by a keyboard, and receiving and encoding data input via the keyboard based on the address of the secure input interrupt-service routine; and a secure input unit for delivering the encoded data from the secure input-device driver to an application program, thereby providing higher-level security than a conventional keyboard-security scheme, and particularly, effectively blocking a port-polling attack or an action trying to change a setting in a debug register. | 07-22-2010 |
20100138918 | Keyboard Security Status Check Module and Method - A keyboard security status check module and method are provided. The module is provided to enable a user to easily check the operating status of a keyboard security program installed in a user terminal. The module includes a keyboard security monitor linked to the keyboard security program and configured to monitor a reception status of key input data protected by keyboard security, and a controller configured to display a dynamic keyboard security check representation on a screen of the user terminal according to the reception status of the key input data monitored by the keyboard security monitor. | 06-03-2010 |
20100005521 | Method of Securing Password in Web Page and Computer-Readable Recording Medium Storing Program for Executing the Same - Provided are a method of securing a password in a web page and a recording medium storing a program for executing the method. The method of accessing a web page provided by a specific web server through a web browser of a user terminal and then securing a password value input from a keyboard of the user terminal to a password input window provided by the web page includes encoding the password value input to the password input window, and then decoding the encoded password value at the same time when a log-in event of the web page occurs. According to the method, it is possible to prevent a password value input to a password input window of a web page from being intercepted by malicious programs before the password value is transmitted to the corresponding web server. | 01-07-2010 |
20090313403 | Method of securing USB keyboard - Provided is a method of securing a Universal Serial Bus (USE) keyboard. According to the method, a keyboard security operation is performed at a host controller driver level, which is one level lower than a USE hub driver level. Thus, it is possible to rapidly and effectively prevent a malicious program from leaking information input from a keyboard that is in communication with a main frame and transfers data via a USB. | 12-17-2009 |
20090172705 | Apparatus and Method for Preservation of USB Keyboard - Provided are a data security apparatus and method for a USB keyboard. The data security apparatus includes: a USB keyboard security driver for selecting a driver for a USB keyboard from USB devices connected to a personal computer, and replacing a data processing function address in a USB hub driver with a function address of the selected USB keyboard driver to acquire input data input by the USB keyboard; a USB keyboard data processing module for preferentially receiving the input data acquired from the USB keyboard security driver, and processing the input data through analysis, encoding and deletion processes; and a USB keyboard data transfer module for decoding the input data processed by the USB keyboard USB keyboard data processing module and outputting the decoded input data to a user's desired location. Thus, data input by a malicious program from a keyboard in communication with a main body of a personal computer (PC) through USB to transmit data can be protected from being transmitted to the external. | 07-02-2009 |
