In illustrative embodiments, systems and methods are disclosed by which keystroke data may be securely delivered to an application executing on a computer. The keystroke data may traverse an atypical data path to the memory space of the application, and may be encrypted along its traversal of such data path, and my further be encrypted when it is delivered into the memory space of the application. The system may include a filter driver that is arranged in a driver stack with a keyboard device driver that ordinarily interacts with the keyboard, and the filter driver may receive keystroke data from the keyboard device driver, encrypt such data, and provide such encrypted data to a body of software instruction that it injected into the memory space of the application. The body of software instructions may, in turn, decrypt the encrypted data and provide the decrypted data to the application.

An electronic device includes a plurality of light emitting units, a plurality of sensing units, and a sensor driving unit. The plurality of light emitting units are disposed on a first substrate. The plurality of sensing units correspond to the plurality of light emitting units, and the plurality of light emitting units and the plurality of sensing units are disposed in a same region. The sensor driving unit is coupled to at least a portion of the plurality of sensing units, and the plurality of light emitting units and the sensor driving unit are partially overlapped with each other.

A handwriting input apparatus that displays stroke data handwritten based on a position of an input unit contacting a touch panel, includes circuitry configured to implement a handwriting recognition control unit for recognizing stroke data and converting the stroke data into text data, and an authentication control unit for authenticating a user based on the stroke data, and a display unit for displaying a display component for receiving a signature together with the text data when the authentication control unit determines that a user has been successfully authenticated.

The present technology is to provide an image sensor capable of enhancing the security of biometric information and lowering the risk of information leakage. An image sensor 10 includes: a biometric information acquisition unit 102 that acquires biometric information; a storage unit 14 that stores reference information to be compared with the biometric information; and a biometric authentication unit 104 that performs biometric authentication by comparing the biometric information with the reference information. The image sensor 10 further includes an encryption processing unit 105 that encrypts biometric authentication information that authenticates a living organism.

Example computing devices that are enabled to enter secure operating modes are provided. An example computing device includes a main processor to run an operating system enabled to establish communication from an external device to the main processor via a hardware interrupt handler when the external device is connected to the computing device. The computing device further includes a keyboard controller to detect a lock keystroke sequence at a keyboard, and, in response to detecting the lock keystroke sequence, cause the main processor to halt the operating system and to enter a secure operating mode in which communication from the external device to the main processor via the hardware interrupt handler is blocked.

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for monitoring interception of an image display pipeline and indicating a determined interception to a user. A display processor may detect that at least one application is activated based on one or more CRC values that correspond to the at least one application. The display processor may generate a UI indication for the at least one application based on detecting that the at least one application is activated and transmit, based on generating the UI indication, at least one UI layer. The at least one UI layer may correspond to the UI indication for the at least one application.

A card reader of a terminal is cryptographically verified upon initialization, power up, connection, or start of day processing of the terminal. A cryptographic and signed token is provided from and verified by an Encrypted Personal Identification Number (PIN) pad (EPP) of the terminal. Each time the reader initializes, the token is verified by the EPP and a new token is generated and provided to the reader for use during a next initialization cycle of the reader. If the reader lacks a token when the EPP has record that is should have the token, the reader is not authorized to perform card transactions for the terminal. If a token provided by the reader during an initialization cycle is not verified, the reader is not authorized to perform card transactions for the terminal.
