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.

在未来十年内，医疗和穿戴式传感器将加强人类健康监测和重大疾病的诊断。随着这些设备的普及，将出现针对隐私入侵的新的和各种类型的攻击。在所有这些情况下，确保用户的生理数据仅由授权实体访问并机密地传输给远程医学专家至关重要。该项目将首先调查可穿戴设备导致的攻击向量，例如通过分析无线传输的传感器数据流量来推断私人健康信息。为了解决这些威胁，该项目将涉及设计一种安全的方法，用于在身体传感器和外部设备之间建立密钥和通信，其中信号通过人体组织发送，以消除窃听。该项目的目标将通过与巴西无线安全专家的合作来实现，这也将导致联合出版物，学生和教师交流，以及联合课程开发。作为该项目研究的一部分，PI将研究如何跨层和联合硬件-软件指纹技术可以用于在时间和空间上跟踪给定的用户，然后以高概率识别，哪些类型的医学感测应用是活跃的。这将是第一次对特定于健康的身体传感器流量进行流量分析，并为可穿戴传感器构建一套全面的参考签名，到目前为止，为互联网应用开发的经典技术还没有解决这一问题。拟议的任务还将展示一种首创的侧信道技术，使用非辐射身体信道，用于身体佩戴的传感器和信息中继设备（如移动的手机）之间的安全密钥建立、通信和多因素身份验证。这些方法的基础是一种称为电流耦合的技术，其中微弱的电流与数据信号调制，然后通过人体组织的高导电路径传输。该共享秘密可以是加密密钥以及消除RF嗅探的随机化流量整形种子，从而减轻上述类型的隐私入侵。
