security of wireless keyboards: threats, vulnerabilities and countermeasures

Introduction/purpose: this paper provides an overview of research on computer system vulnerabilities caused by compromised electromagnetic radiation by wireless keyboards. wireless devices that use event-triggered communication have been shown to have critical privacy issues due to the inherent leakage associated with radio frequency emissions. wireless connectivity technology is a source of signal emanation that must be protected in terms of performance and security. methods: wireless device vulnerabilities and side-channel attacks are observed, along with electromagnetic emission of radio waves. results: the findings highlight a specific wireless keyboard's security and encryption flaws. the results of penetration testing reveal vulnerabilities of targeted wireless keyboards in terms of outdated firmware, encryption, wireless reliability, and connection strength. conclusion: wireless keyboards have security flaws that disrupt radio communication, giving a malicious user complete access to the computer to which the keyboard is connected. an attacker can steal sensitive data by observing how the system works using compromised electromagnetic emissions.
