minus-squaredelcake@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoThe article addresses exactly this suggestion. Remember, the attack model proved highly effective even against a very silent keyboard, so adding sound dampeners on mechanical keyboards or switching to membrane-based keyboards is unlikely to help.
minus-squareInfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoWhat about a touchscreen keyboard? The layout wouldn’t have to change, and there needn’t be any sounds at all. I know it’s shitty but for high security purposes like on a bank terminal or something, shitty but secure trumps nice but insecure, right?
