I am not a computer expert, however I have what may be an easy solution. If you have a computer that is at high risk to be infected by MAGIC LANTERN or other password sniffing programs you may like this idea. Create an encryption program that, when the user is prompted to create a password, opens a field(new window)which would contain the letters a-z and the numbers 1-0. The user would then, instead of typing in the key, would use the mouse to click on the desired letters/numbers to form the password. Much like one would place their initials on a high score screen in a video game.I have never seen this option on any encrption programs, but I doubt it would be difficult for someone with programming experience to create. What do you think about my idea? If you like it let me know.
