As Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming widely available, their secure management is crucial to fully enable their potential. For instance, for convenient charging, they may require quick authentication with the charging stations while they are on the ...

In this demo, we will show the effects of multiple Bluetooth Low Energy spoofing attacks, including a novel cache poisoning attack. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is often used for communication between devices, ranging from headphones to medical sensors. ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) also known as drones are being used in many applications where they can record or stream video. One of such applications is the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) where drones may need to record videos and send a ...

With the increasing digitization of different components of Smart Grid, there is an ongoing effort to design secure protocols and deploy them for different applications. A major need along with these efforts is to deal with key management for a large ...

Device-to-device (D2D) communication enables machine-type devices (MTD) in Internet-of-Things (IoT) network communicate directly with each other and offload the cellular network. However, it may introduce interference as they share the same spectrum ...

In cooperative spectrum sensing, multiple sensors work together to perform tasks such as localizing a target transmitter. However, the exchange of spectrum measurements leads to exposure of the physical location of participating sensors. Furthermore, in ...

Modern vehicles abound with Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that need to speak with each other. They adopt a binary language and form an in-vehicle network that must be precisely regulated. This was the aim for the inception of "Controller Area Network" ...

Wireless jamming is a critical challenge for sprawling and ubiquitous devices, which are connected using radio-frequency (RF) waves. Traditionally direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and its derivatives have been recognized as an effective jamming ...

Modern aircraft heavily rely on several wireless technologies for communications, control, and navigation. In this work, we demonstrate the vulnerability of aircraft instrument landing systems to wireless attacks. We show that it is possible to fully ...

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol is being included in a growing number of connected objects such as smartphones, fitness trackers, headphones and smartwatches. As part of the service discovery mechanism of BLE, devices announce themselves by ...

The lack of security measures in the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their persistent online connectivity give adversaries an opportunity to target them or abuse them as intermediary targets for volumetric attacks such as Distributed Denial-of-...

The proliferation of surveillance cameras has greatly improved the physical security of many security-critical properties including buildings, stores, and homes. However, recent surveillance camera looping attacks demonstrate new security threats --- ...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the de-facto standard for mobile communication. It provides effective security features but leaves room for misunderstandings in its configuration and implementation. In particular, providers face difficulties when ...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) provides the communication infrastructure for both professional and private use cases and has become an integral part of our everyday life. Even though LTE/4G overcomes many security issues of previous standards, recent work ...

Security experts often question why some users take actions that could expose them to security and privacy risks. Using unsecured Wi-Fi networks is one common example. Even though mobile data is now a more secure means to connect to the Internet, and is ...

The Internet of things (IoT) has become an integral part of our life at both work and home. However, these IoT devices are prone to vulnerability exploits due to their low cost, low resources, the diversity of vendors, and proprietary firmware. Moreover,...

The central building block of secure and privacy-preserving Vehicular Communication (VC) systems is a Vehicular Public-Key Infrastructure (VPKI), which provides vehicles with multiple anonymized credentials, termed pseudonyms. These pseudonyms are used ...

Location spoofing is a proven and powerful attack against Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems that can cause traffic congestion and other safety hazards. Recent work also demonstrates practical spoofing attacks that can circumvent ...

This paper investigates thermal covert channels in the context of the Internet-of-Things. More, precisely we demonstrate such a channel on BLE-enabled devices. We explain how the core design principles of BLE link-layer protocol, combined with well-...

Distance-bounding protocols were introduced in 1993 as a countermeasure to relay attacks, in which an adversary fraudulently forwards the communication between a verifier and a distant prover. In the more than 40 different protocols that followed, ...
