The best encryption or any great effort would fail to protect if your computer has keylogging spyware.
Encryption is not applied by users. It is the e-business website's tool to protect online customers.
Recently, someone raised the question "Is encryption really crackable?" in a blog. If you want to know about encryption, it will be good to read the various posting. Among the messages, "However if the PC has a keylogger, or a hidden partition wher all your plaintext is copied to, NO encryption will protect you." posted by michael_orton is a good reminder to users.
My friends always said that I might be too fast ahead of them because I always worked on something that they had not yet aware of. It sounds great. No, I think that the problem is most of them relied on their chosen channel of information and had not spent time to see by themselves.
When I first heard of Keylogging, I immediately rushed to get information so that I could understand what it was and how to avoid this threat.
For the time being, I believe that the keyboard cannot be replaced by any other ways because other method would be the same as input from keyboard for the processor. Therefore, keylogging spyware can catch all such type of input.
Of course, we may hope that Intel and Microsoft will come out with a technique to overcome this type of problem. However, even if that would be happened, it might not be any time soon. We are still in danger because our computer may be invaded by keylogging spyware before or in the coming future.
