Abstract

In recent years, there are many companies competing for innovation in the field of wearable smart devices. In this paper, we present a secure password input extension of smart watch that has not been implemented on any other smart watches yet. A SmartWatch extension module is designed and runs on both the SmartWatch2 and the Smartphone by researching and using SONY Smart Extension APIs. The password is entered on SONY SmartWatch2, so the malware running on the Smartphone cannot intercept the password using the hooks, because these hooks only works with the normal password input on the touch screen, and they cannot detect the password input action on the SmartWatch2. The remote-input password application runs well in the SmartWatch2 and also can be ported to other wearable smart devices if they provide the similar development kit like SONY SmartWatch2. This extension shows a new scenario for wearable smart devices besides message notification and health management.
