In today’s mobile world, wireless technology is everywhere. We use it when working online while on the move, connecting mobile accessories to our PCs—and the list goes on. Because wireless technology is so common, we often assume it’s safe. Many use it to enter customer passwords, send personal customer data, and share confidential work information around the workplace. The reality is that every point in a wireless communication system is a potential vulnerability, and without the proper security measures in place, your organisation’s private information could be at risk.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) AES is an encryption algorithm that’s designed to protect classified information. It’s implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data.
Why does a keyboard need secure software? Wireless keyboards transmit information over the air, which creates an often overlooked point of vulnerability. Without proper security measures in place, a cyber-thief could intercept your keystrokes and gain access to your customers’ passwords, credit card numbers, confidential information, and even classified information about your organisation.
Microsoft AES keyboards To prevent others from accessing your keyboard’s secret AES encryption key, Microsoft has created firmware that blocks access to the key once its installed in the keyboard and receiver, in the factory. In addition, Microsoft AES keyboards use random data generation and unique identifiers for each transmission to prevent more sophisticated attacks.
