" There is a simple and highly effective way of defeating keyboard sniffers
on a simple everyday internet browser interface. Unfortunately I am not keen
to divulge the details because it is a feature of the new Pecunix interface
currently under development."
Yes, it is called a keypad on the screen where you click on the letters of
the password with your mouse.
The only problem is: if they can install a keyboard sniffer, they can
install a mouse sniffer, java sniffer, or any other kind of sniffer. If you
open a trojan attachment you can install programs with full access to the
data stream that passes through your CPU.
The only way to truly beat the problem is to store the private key on a
dedicated secure device that does all the encryption itself, such as a smart
card, or one of the new fangled cell phones. That way ALL the relevant data
that passes through your computer is already encrypted and worthless to the
hacker. That still leaves the possibility of man-in-the-middle attacks, but
those are much harder to pull off.
