Optimization Technique to Reduce Resource Utilization of Software Key Loggers Using PSO

Software key loggers are the leading type of keylogging. Both cheap and consumer-specific and specially created keylogging programs are easily accessible online. These key loggers should be revised to each target operating system to guarantee the appropriate handing of I/O devices. Therefore, system differences inevitably initiate operating system-based devices of software key loggers: keyboard state tables, system routine hooks, and the adoption of kernel-mode layered drivers. It is analyzed that software key logger has high execution time and resource utilization. In this research work, the PSO technique is applied which will optimize the software key loggers. The proposed model is implemented in MATLAB and results are analyzed in terms of execution time, resource utilization.
