Soft keyboard is perhaps the most common human input device on smartphone. This study designed and implemented a proof-of-concept soft keyboard keylogger in Android. The soft keyboard app was designed to have the capability to capture keystrokes from user and save it. It also can record the GPS location of user at the time of typing and sent it to a remote server. From our testing, the app was capable of recording the keystroke from user and their location. Since a keyboard app is normally used for typing message and email, filling confidential information, filling username and password, and so on, a soft keyboard application has the potential to be used for malicious activities.
