  • Abstract
    System security and privacy always have to face new confronts. Continuous updates in the operating systems and anti-virus applications strive to amplify the system security level. In recent years ´key-loggers´ have proved to be one of the prevalent intimidations to security and privacy. Key-logger is a surreptitious surveillance application, which is used to keep record of user´s activities on the computer in various ways like keyboard logging, screen logging, mouse logging and voice logging, completely in imperceptible mode. Although key-loggers can also be used for prolific purposes but due to the tremendous increase in the Internet usage, the caustic use of key-loggers simply surmounts its advantages. Key-loggers have gained so much supremacy in their execution that they have become a serious intimidation to the privacy and security of a computer. The fact which makes the key-loggers more perilous is their undetectable nature against anti-virus and spy-where applications. This paper discusses some existing techniques of fortification against key-loggers and also exemplifies a new technique along with its proved advantages.
