Over the last few years, significant attention has been focused on personal data, particularly data generated by smart wearable and smart home devices. Making personal data available for access and trade is expected to become a part of the data-driven digital economy. In this position paper, we review the research challenges in building personal Databoxes that hold personal data and enable data access by other parties and potentially thus sharing of data with other parties.

  • A Systematic Survey of Firmware Extraction Techniques for Iot Devices
    Breaking all the Things | A Systematic Survey of Firmware Extraction Techniques for IoT Devices Sebastian Vasile, David Oswald, and Tom Chothia University of Birmingham [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we systematically review and categorize differ- ent hardware-based firmware extraction techniques, using 24 examples of real, wide-spread products, e.g. smart voice assistants (in particular Amazon Echo devices), alarm and access control systems, as well as home automation devices. We show that in over 45% of the cases, an exposed UART interface is sufficient to obtain a firmware dump, while in other cases, more complicated, yet still low-cost methods (e.g. JTAG or eMMC readout) are needed. In this regard, we perform an in-depth investiga- tion of the security concept of the Amazon Echo Plus, which contains significant protection methods against hardware-level attacks. Based on the results of our study, we give recommendations for countermeasures to mitigate the respective methods. 1 Introduction Extracting the firmware from IoT devices is a crucial first step when analysing the security of such systems. From a designer's point of view, preventing the firmware from falling into the hands of an adversary is often desirable: for in- stance, to protect cryptographic keys that identify a device and to impede prod- uct counterfeit or IP theft. The large variety of IoT devices results in different approaches to firmware extraction, depending on the device in question. Past work has looked at the state of security of IoT devices, e.g.

  • Iot Or Not Identifying Iot Devices in a Short Time Scale
    The Interdisciplinary Center, Herzlia Efi Arazi School of Computer Science M.Sc. program - Research Track IoT or NoT Identifying IoT Devices in a Short Time Scale by Haim Levy M.Sc. dissertation, submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree, research track, School of Computer Science The Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya April 2020 This work was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Anat Bremlar- Barr and the assistance of Prof. Zohar Yakhini from the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science, The Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya. Abstract In recent years the number of IoT devices in home networks has increased dra- matically. Whenever a new device connects to the network, it must be quickly managed and secured using the relevant security mechanism or QoS policy. Thus a key challenge is to distinguish between IoT and NoT devices in a matter of min- utes. Unfortunately, there is no clear indication of whether a device in a network is an IoT. In this paper, we propose different classifiers that identify a device as IoT or non-IoT, in a short time scale, and with high accuracy. Our classifiers were constructed using machine learning techniques on a seen (training) dataset and were tested on an unseen (test) dataset. They successfully classified devices that were not in the seen dataset with accuracy above 95%. The first classifier is a logistic regression classifier based on traffic features. The sec- ond classifier is based on features we retrieve from DHCP packets. Finally, we present a unified classifier that leverages the advantages of the other two classi- fiers.
