AI Steals Passwords by Listening to Keystrokes With Scary Accuracy

The AI model trained on typing recorded over a smartphone was able to steal passwords with 95% accuracy.

Trained with keystrokes on a laptop transmitted over a smartphone, a new AI model was able to overhear typing and steal passwords with 95% accuracy.
A team of researchers at Cornell University presented their report A Practical Deep Learning-Based Acoustic Side Channel Attack on Keyboards this month, which in addition to a smartphone, trained the
AI model
over
conferencing app Zoom.
With the latter, the model was able to
replicate passwords
with 93% accuracy.
With recent developments in deep learning, the ubiquity of microphones and the rise in online services via personal devices, acoustic side channel attacks present a greater threat to keyboards than ever, the researchers explained. Our results prove the practicality of these side channel attacks via off-the-shelf equipment and algorithms.
