Method and device for secured entry of personal data

摘要

A method for secured entry of personal data is disclosed. This method comprises for each item of personal data a first step of presentation of a virtual keyboard comprising keys and a first cursor, followed by a step of selection of a key corresponding to the item of personal data wherein the virtual keyboard also comprises at least one dummy cursor and wherein the position on the virtual keyboard of the at least one dummy cursor depends on the position of the first cursor. A device for secured entry of personal data configured to implement the method is further disclosed.

1. A method for secured entry of personal data comprising, for each item of personal data:
a) generation, by a computing device, of a user interface including a virtual keyboard comprising keys, a first cursor and at least one dummy cursor, the at least one dummy cursor being generated to overcome a “key-logger” attack, b) selecting, by the computing device upon receipt of a user command from a peripheral device, a key corresponding to said item of personal data, controlling a position on the virtual keyboard of said at least one dummy cursor, by the computing device, based on a position of the first cursor on said virtual keyboard wherein movement over the virtual keyboard of said at least one dummy cursor depends on movement of the first cursor; and wherein a speed of the movement over the virtual keyboard of said at least one dummy cursor depends on a speed of the movement of the first cursor and wherein a position of the keys on the virtual keyboard presented for two successive items of personal data is a result of a random permutation.
