User-space malware such as keyboard sniffers, spyware, and Trojans represent a significant threat to today's desktop computing environment. This paper presents Bump in the Ether (BitE), an approach for preventing malware from accessing sensitive user input and providing the user with additional confidence that her input is being processed as desired. Rather than preventing malware from running or detecting already-running malware, user input that bypasses common avenues of attack is facilitated. A prototype J2ME MIDP 2.0 BitE Mobile Client is developed that runs on the mobile phone. It receives keystrokes via an infrared keyboard and sends them to a prototype BitE Kernel Module loaded on the host platform via Bluetooth.
