    PhD Context:Electromagnetic cybersecurity relates to the use of electromagnetic waves to compromise data. Keyboards are critical targets because they are widely used as a computer peripheral and keystroke retrieval may lead to sensitive information recovery. Various attacks have been proposed to remotely retrieve keystrokes by listening to electromagnetic emanations either in a passive [Vua09] or active [Kaj23] manner using backscattering measurement. However, the feasibility of denialofservice attacks on computer keyboard remains an open challenge.

PhD Objectives and Work Plan:

This PhD aims at developing beyond-state-of-the-art electromagnetic attacks to compromise keyboard availability (denial of service) and integrity (fault injection).

To that end, we will take benefit of wavefront shaping techniques in a guided propagation medium such as power or communication cables, in order to enable non-line-of-sight attacks at an extended range.


The thesis is organized as follows:

  • Electromagnetic compatibility study of keyboards for both immunity and susceptibility
  • Development of denialofservice and faultinjection attacks
  • Attack range extension using spatial diversity [Yeo21]
  • Proposals for countermeasures
