A group of academics has devised a "deep learning-based acoustic side-channel attack" that can be used to classify laptop keystrokes recorded using a nearby phone with 95% accuracy. "When trained on keystrokes recorded using the video conferencing software Zoom, an accuracy of 93% was achieved, a new best for the medium," researchers Joshua Harrison, Ehsan Toreini, and Maryam Mehrnezhad said in a new study.
Side-channel attacks refer to a class of security exploits that aim to glean insights fr
