fast automatic iphone shoulder surfing - rectification

http:slashdotorgsubmission1716844fast-automatic-iphone-shoulder-surfing - spying on a person is an easy and effective method to obtain sensitive informations even when the victim is well protected against common digital attacks modern mobile devices allow people to perform some information sensitive actions in unsafe places where anyone could easily observe the victim while typing what if your mobile phone has a cool touchscreen interface that gives you graphical feedback as you type iphone android blackberry torch does it make shoulder surfing easier or worse automatable researchers believe so and to demonstrate it they developed a practical shoulder surfing attack that automatically reconstructs the sequence of keystrokes by aiming a camera at the target touchscreen while the victim is typing our attack exploits feedback such as magnified keys often appearing in predictable positions this feedback mechanism has been adopted by the top three touchscreen vendors apple ios google android rim blackberry in newer version of these mobile oss the user has no way to disable it to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach they implemented it against the iphone the most popular one but it can be easily adapted to similar devices with minor modifications the attack takes into account that in real-world scenarios both the victim039s device and attacker039s spying camera are not standing in fixed positions to compensate their movements and misalignments the system detects and rectifies the target screen before identifying keystokes by doing that they are able to automatically recognize up to 9707 of the keystrokes with as low as 115 errors and an average processing speed that makes it a fast and quasi-real-time alternative to shoulder surfing a similar attack has been recently proposed: unfortunately it seems to require a larger screen ie ipad that the soft keys are blue and that the target scree doesn039t move
