Smartphone's camera and microphone can show PIN

On Monday, British researchers warned that the smart phone's PIN code could be cracked by attacking the device's microphone and camera. Using an item called "PIN Splitter," the University of Cambridge team found some soft keyboard input codes that could be easily determined.

The software can "see" a user's face through the camera, and then click "listen" to enter their PIN for the user through the microphone. Demonstrations were made on Google Nexus S and Galaxy S3 smartphones. We show that the cameras, which are commonly used for conference or facial recognition, can be used maliciously, said Professor Roth Anderson of the Safety Engineering Professor at the Cambridge University of Laurent Simon in the report's findings.

The researchers said that as a user's smartphone, the microphone is used to detect touch events, which means that it can effectively "listen" to the click of the phone so that the user presses a virtual number key to enter their own PIN. Then the camera's direction to the phone user enters their PIN similar to the user's digital position. See how your face moves as you shake your phone typing, Anderson told BBC News. This really surprised us and how it works.

In fact, the plan was more than half the time after the success of five attempts to identify a four-digit PIN, after ten attempts to determine an 8-digit PIN, and a success rate of 60%. Although many smartphone users use PINs to lock their mobile phones, and increasingly use these passwords to access other types of applications, such as banking applications, raising resources should remain accessible on mobile phones when a person enters a sensitive one. The PIN, the researchers said.
