Abstract: Provided is a method of securing a Universal Serial Bus (USB) keyboard. According to the method, a keyboard security operation is performed at a host controller driver level, which is one level lower than a USB hub driver level. Thus, it is possible to rapidly and effectively prevent a malicious program from leaking information input from a keyboard that is in communication with a main frame and transfers data via a USB.

Abstract: A keyboard security status check module and method are provided. The module is provided to enable a user to easily check the operating status of a keyboard security program installed in a user terminal. The module includes a keyboard security monitor linked to the keyboard security program and configured to monitor a reception status of key input data protected by keyboard security, and a controller configured to display a dynamic keyboard security check representation on a screen of the user terminal according to the reception status of the key input data monitored by the keyboard security monitor.

Abstract: Provided is a method of securing a Universal Serial Bus (USE) keyboard. According to the method, a keyboard security operation is performed at a host controller driver level, which is one level lower than a USE hub driver level. Thus, it is possible to rapidly and effectively prevent a malicious program from leaking information input from a keyboard that is in communication with a main frame and transfers data via a USB.

Abstract: Provided are a data security apparatus and method for a USB keyboard. The data security apparatus includes: a USB keyboard security driver for selecting a driver for a USB keyboard from USB devices connected to a personal computer, and replacing a data processing function address in a USB hub driver with a function address of the selected USB keyboard driver to acquire input data input by the USB keyboard; a USB keyboard data processing module for preferentially receiving the input data acquired from the USB keyboard security driver, and processing the input data through analysis, encoding and deletion processes; and a USB keyboard data transfer module for decoding the input data processed by the USB keyboard USB keyboard data processing module and outputting the decoded input data to a user's desired location.
