Abstract:
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.
