Consumer electronic devices are used every day to make our daily life comfortable. There are different consumer electronic devices for specific purposes, such as medical devices, wearable devices, devices for business and entertainment, and many more. Although these devices provide advanced capabilities and services to consumers, they also bring new challenges. In particular, security and privacy issues concerning these devices are critical.
