几十年来，键盘记录软件一直被用来监视计算机用户的活动或收集敏感信息。他们的主要重点是从物理键盘捕获可编程数据。然而，自2012年微软Windows 8发布以来，触摸屏个人电脑变得更加流行，引入了屏幕键盘的使用，为用户提供了另一种可选择的键盘输入方法。智慧城市旨在提高和改善城市人口的生活质量，同时降低成本和资源消耗。随着新技术的开发，以创造安全，可再生和可持续的环境，我们引入了额外的风险，使命关键数据和访问凭据可能会通过恶意键盘记录程序被盗。反过来，使用这些数据针对关键基础设施的网络攻击可能导致广泛的灾难性系统故障。为了在智能城市时代保护社会，在实施这项技术时考虑安全问题至关重要。在本文中，我们调查的能力，键盘记录器捕捉从屏幕上（虚拟）键盘的键盘，并证明不同的键盘记录器响应非常不同的屏幕上的键盘输入。我们建议未来进行一些研究，以进一步了解屏幕键盘对智能城市的安全影响，因为它们与键盘记录器有关。
Software keyloggers have been used to spy on computer users to track activity or gather sensitive information for decades. Their primary focus has been to capture keystroke data from physical keyboards. However, since the release of Microsoft Windows 8 in 2012 touchscreen personal computers have become much more prevalent, introducing the use of on-screen keyboards which afford users an alternative keystroke input method. Smart cities are designed to enhance and improve the quality of life of city populations while reducing cost and resource consumption. As new technology is developed to create safe, renewable, and sustainable environments, we introduce additional risk that mission critical data and access credentials may be stolen via malicious keyloggers. In turn, cyber-attacks targeting critical infrastructure using this data could result in widespread catastrophic systems failure. In order to protect society in the age of smart-cities it is vital that security implications are considered as this technology is implemented. In this paper we investigate the capabilities of keyloggers to capture keystrokes from an on-screen (virtual) keyboard and demonstrate that different keyloggers respond very differently to on-screen keyboard input. We suggest a number of future studies that could be performed to further understand the security implications presented by on-screen keyboards to smart cities as they relate to keyloggers.
