Abstract
An information handling system keyboard has plural security information validations to enable and disable communication by the keyboard with an information handling system. A touch detection surface coupled under the keyboard number pad is enabled when an authorized security card inserts into a security card reader so that a security pattern traced over the touch detection surface and detected by proximity sensing is applied to authorize keyboard use. In one example embodiment, the security pattern enables a fingerprint reader that fully authorizes keyboard interactions with an information handling system.
