Definition

  • The keyboard, which is an important input device for computers, smartphones, and tablets, is also of high importance in terms of privacy. This is because identity thieves, cybercriminals, hackers, or others can monitor confidential writings, e-mails, chat conversations, and other forms of communication as users strike the keys of the keyboard.
