CN1455312A - Enciphered password input method and its keyboard - Google Patents

Abstract

Under exposed public situation, it is not safe for people to input own password into computer. The invented method and the keyboard makes peepers even near at hand cannot obtain the password. One key operated by the left hand is added on the external surface in hidden position. The left hand controls whether the key pushed by the right hand is passing through or blocked off. The redundant key pushed by the right is equivalent to encryption of the password. The method for modifying the keyboard is simple, efficiency and low cost as well as easy learning and safety.

Description

Enciphered password input method and keyboard thereof

Technical field

The invention belongs to the computer peripheral category;

Background technology

As everyone knows, be placed with the client password input keyboard on the bank savings sales counter, keyboard is also arranged on ATM (automatic teller machine), the usefulness of input password when withdrawing the money for the client, the keyboard that has is in order to maintain secrecy, and the next door is provided with shield, but in order not influence remittee's button operation, these shields can not do cross exceed tight, the offender often from the remittee by the side of or shoulder rear snooping password, and then reach the purpose of illegal false claiming wealth.The application for a patent for invention that CN1177764A discloses a kind of " mask type cipher-code input method and equipment thereof ", a kind of optical lens operation keyboard that sees through has been proposed, whole all around methods of sealing, though this method can solve the problem of divulging a secret, but equipment complexity, complex operation, the bad the elderly's use of eyesight can be had any problem, and should go to seek simpler and efficient ways.The difficulty of dealing with problems is apparent: can imagine, the people who has the inclination to peep perhaps just at you by the side of or after one's death, perhaps stare at you with telescope a long way off, reflect according to public security department, which once had the offender to train " piercing eye ", and far also can judge by key according to the movement locus of your button at a distance of five or six meters! We can say that present cipher inputting keyboard that uses and method have no security performance and can say.

Summary of the invention:

Purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of method, and so-called enciphered password input method and keyboard thereof improve cipher safety greatly.

Purpose is achieved in that the author thinks by analysis, present password input mode, be open, one dimension, forthright, want to guarantee the cryptosecurity input, except secretiveness, better way should be to password " encryption ", says to such an extent that accurately be to encrypt to the action of button, that is to say except by many again the password, come individual mixing the spurious with the genuine by several keys! , how can stay calm and collected with that many by several keys " do useless ", become the key point of plan, the people who peeps is dig-inning this right hand of your button, what if do what action and all can not escape his sight line? several times weigh, we have expected left hand.Left hand just is plagued with too much leisure in the process of withdrawing the money, why not entrust with an important task? both hands cooperate does things, and is exactly the speciality of primate originally, in addition human? after left hand is joined, use first one hand and then the other in quick succession, can allow the person of peeping attend to one thing and lose sight of another, if a backstage more allows it as weighing down in the mist before another platform! Particularly, we are in the concealed location of keyboard outside surface, newly acquire a button, (being called " operating key "), controlled by left hand, (right hand is controlled) ten numerical keys can temporarily lose function in the time that it disconnects, and that is to say that this key is equivalent to the master switch of ten numerical keys, only under situation about connecting, but press just input signal of each numerical key.How to implement this enciphered password input method? way is a lot, and from the software aspect, we can design a program, and the function of self-defined this button is solidificated in keyboard and handles and scan in the chip; From hardware aspect, we can be serially connected in this button can influence in the shared line of the formation of numerical key key-position signal and output, as common signal line, crystal oscillator line, data line, clock line, ground wire, supply lines or the like, when this key disconnects, even press each numerical key, key-position signal can not form or export; Perhaps CPU can not receive signal, perhaps asks the signal of CPU keyboard scan to be intercepted.When we prepare to press password on numerical key with right hand forefinger, left index finger is placed on this operating key, the right hand is many again by several keys (front or rear or middle) except password consciously, and left hand only keeps on-state when the right hand is pressed password, like this, obviously have only the key instruction of representing password can be admitted to CPU, and how by those several keys only be feinting deception, it is close to have added for password more in other words conj.or perhaps, thereby reaches the purpose that the fascination person of peeping ensures cryptosecurity.We can be placed in shelter away from numerical key to this operating key of newly acquiring, side or bottom surface as keyboard, the person of peeping can't be taken into account, if still be arranged on the card, also should do it smallerly, should be able to be covered fully, perhaps above key, install radome additional or done flange and gone along with sb. to guard him or have the pothole groove hidden by left index finger, allow the person of peeping cannot see this key, even cannot see the finger of button.Simultaneously, also should be at the keyboard disk conspicuous position, be printed with the literal of the of this sort meaning: " for your cryptosecurity; please before or after the password input; left hand is pressed operating key; several mess codes down of right hand input ... or the like, (is example with the closed type contact) is to remind the remittee that a feinting deception is done by association.In addition, newly this that acquire operating key also can be in parallel with the clear key on the keyboard on the circuit, utilize the function of clear key dispose silently the front by the feinting deception key, also can reach the effect of fascination.

Simple, effective, civilized generous, easy to learn with this ciphering type method and keyboard input password thereof, can stop peep of cipher, can be used on the various customer service equipment that need password input, as ATM, POS machine, stock market casual household exchange and intelligent network phones machine or the like.
