项目摘要

Medical and body-worn sensors will enhance human health monitoring and diagnosis of critical ailments in the next decade. As the popularity of such devices increases, there will be an emergence of new and varied types of attacks targeting privacy intrusions. In all such cases, ensuring that user's physiological data is only accessed by authorized entities and confidentially transmitted to the remote medical experts is of critical importance. The project will first investigate the attack vectors resulting from wearable devices such as inference of private health information by analyzing the sensor data traffic transmitted over-the-air. To address such threats, the project will involve the design of a secure method of key establishment and communications between a body sensor and an external device, where signals are sent through the human tissue to eliminate eavesdropping. The project goals will be accomplished with collaboration from wireless security experts in Brazil, which will also lead to joint publications, student and faculty exchanges, and joint coursework development.As part of the research undertaken in this project, the PIs will investigate how cross-layer and joint hardware-software fingerprinting techniques can be used to track a given user over time and space, and then identify with high probability, which types of medical sensing applications are active. This will be the first traffic analysis of health-specific body sensor traffic and building a comprehensive set of reference signatures for wearable sensors, which has so far not been addressed by classical techniques developed for Internet applications. The proposed tasks will also demonstrate a first-of-its-kind side-channel technique, using a non-radiating body channel, for secure key establishment, communications, and multi-factor authentication between body-worn sensors and the information-relaying device, such as a mobile phone. Underlying these methods is a technique called galvanic coupling, where weak electrical currents are modulated with the data signals, and then transmitted via highly conductive pathways of the human tissue. This shared secret can be both an encryption key as well as a randomized traffic shaping seed that eliminates RF sniffing, thereby mitigating the above types of privacy intrusions.

在未来十年中，医疗和身体磨损的传感器将增强对严重疾病的人类健康监测和诊断。随着此类设备的普及，将出现针对隐私入侵的新类型的攻击类型。在所有这种情况下，确保仅授权实体访问用户的生理数据并秘密地传输给远程医疗专家至关重要。该项目将首先调查由可穿戴设备引起的攻击向量，例如推理私人健康信息，通过分析传感器数据流量直播传输的传感器数据流量。为了应对此类威胁，该项目将涉及一种安全建立的安全方法和身体传感器和外部设备之间的通信，在该方法中，通过人体组织发送信号以消除窃听。项目目标将通过巴西的无线安全专家的合作来实现，这也将导致共同出版物，学生和教师交流以及联合课程开发。作为该项目进行的研究的一部分，PIS将研究跨层和联合硬件软件指纹技术如何用于跟踪特定的医学概率，并具有高度的应用程序，并具有高度的应用程序，并具有很高的应用程序。这将是针对健康特定身体传感器流量的首次交通分析，并为可穿戴传感器建立了一套全面的参考签名，到目前为止，该传感器尚未通过为Internet应用程序开发的经典技术来解决。提出的任务还将展示使用非辐射的身体渠道的首先侧渠道技术，用于安全的钥匙建筑，通信和物体上扭曲的传感器之间的多因素身份验证，例如移动电话。这些方法的基础是一种称为电流耦合的技术，其中弱电流通过数据信号调节，然后通过人体组织的高导电途径传输。这个共享的秘密既可以是加密密钥，也可以是消除RF嗅探的随机交通形成种子，从而减轻上述类型的隐私入侵。
