On the Insecurity of Vehicles Against Protocol-Level Bluetooth Threats

Mathias Josef Payer, Daniele Antonioli

Cars are some of the most security-critical consumer devices. On the one hand, owners expect rich infotainment features, including audio, hands-free calls, contact management, or navigation through their connected mobile phone. On the other hand, the infot ...

Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information. However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and th ...

FirmFuzz: Automated IoT Firmware Introspection and Analysis

Hui Peng, Mathias Josef Payer

While the number of IoT devices grows at an exhilarating pace their security remains stagnant. Imposing secure coding standards across all vendors is infeasible. Testing individual devices allows an analyst to evaluate their security post deployment. Any d ...

Effectiveness of Distance-Decreasing Attacks Against Impulse Radio Ranging

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury, Marcin Poturalski, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

We expose the vulnerability of an emerging wireless ranging technology, impulse radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB), to distance-decreasing attacks on the physical communication layer (PHY). These attacks violate the security of secure ranging protocols that al ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-existing, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-use ...

On Bluetooth repairing: key agreement based on symmetric-key cryptography

Serge Vaudenay

Despite many good (secure) key agreement protocols based on public-key cryptography exist, secure associations between two wireless devices are often established using symmetric-key cryptography for cost reasons. The consequence is that common daily used s ...

Tradeoff Analysis of PHY-aware MAC in Low-Rate, Low-Power UWB networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer, Alaeddine El Fawal

We are interested in the design of physical-layer aware medium access control (PHY-aware MAC) for self-organized, low power, low data-rate impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) networks. In such networks, energy consumption is much more of a concern than a ...
