Cyber-Physical Fingerprinting for Internet of Things Authentication
Yaman Sharaf-Dabbagh, Walid Saad · 2017
Current security and privacy solutions fail to meet the IoT requirements due to computational restrictions and portable nature of IoT objects. In this demo, a novel authentication framework is proposed that exploits the device-specific information to authenticate each object in the IoT. The framework is shown to effectively track the physical environment effects on objects. The experiment shows a sample IoT environment consisting of multiple Raspberry PI units operating as IoT objects. The proposed framework monitors the changes of the physical environment surrounding objects by examining the changes in the device-specific information of each IoT object. The scenario of an emulation attacker is presented in the demo as a case study. The attacker is capable of replicating all the transmitted messages and security keys of one of the IoT objects. Our proposed framework is able to effectively detect such an attack and improve the authentication accuracy for all IoT objects. -Demo Abstract.
