In this paper, we study the security posture of the EV charging ecosystem against a new type of remote that exploits vulnerabilities in the EV charging mobile applications as an attack surface. We leverage a combination of static and…
Nowadays, the usage of smartphones and their applications have become rapidly increasing popular in people's daily life. Over the last decade, availability of mobile money services such as mobile-payment systems and app markets have…
For better reliability and prolonged battery life, it is important that users and vendors understand the quality of charging and the performance of smartphone batteries. Considering the diverse set of devices and user behavior it is a…
This paper shows that today's wireless charging interface is vulnerable to power side-channel attacks; a smartphone charging wirelessly leaks private information about its activity to the wireless charger (charging transmitter). We present…
Home security systems have become increasingly popular since they provide an additional layer of protection and peace of mind. These systems typically include battery-powered motion sensors, contact sensors, and smart locks. Z-Wave is a…
In this work we present definitive evidence, analysis, and (where needed) speculation to answer the questions, (1) Which concrete security measures in mobile devices meaningfully prevent unauthorized access to user data? (2) In what ways…
We study how ambient energy harvesting may be used as an attack vector in the battery-less Internet of Things (IoT). Battery-less IoT devices rely on ambient energy harvesting and are employed in a multitude of applications, including…
In this paper, we present a study on the recent approaches in handling Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attack is a fairly new type of attack to cripple the availability of Internet services and resources. A DDos attack…
Mobile devices have become ubiquitous tools for communication, entertainment, and productivity, yet battery autonomy remains a constraint. While energy-saving tips exist, they are often generic, anecdotal, or focused on software development…
The rise of deep learning (DL) has increased computing complexity and energy use, prompting the adoption of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for energy-efficient edge and mobile deployment. However, recent studies have…
Mobile networks are vulnerable to signalling attacks and storms that are caused by traffic patterns that overload the control plane, and differ from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in the Internet since they directly attack the…
Energy efficiency has a significant influence on user experience of battery-driven devices such as smartphones and tablets. It is shown that software optimization plays an important role in reducing energy consumption of system. However, in…
Deployment of sensor network in hostile environment makes it mainly vulnerable to battery drainage attacks because it is impossible to recharge or replace the battery power of sensor nodes. Among different types of security threats, low…
HTTP is frequently used by smartphones and IoT devices to access information and Web services. Nowadays, HTTP is used in three major versions, each introducing significant changes with respect to the previous one. We evaluated the energy…
As computational resources are placed at different points in the edge-cloud continuum, not only the responsiveness on the client side is affected, but also the energy spent during communications. We summarize the main approaches used to…
The 911 emergency service belongs to one of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors in the United States. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks launched from a mobile phone botnet pose a significant threat to the availability of this…
Side-channel attacks on mobile devices have gained increasing attention since their introduction in 2007. While traditional side-channel attacks, such as power analysis attacks and electromagnetic analysis attacks, required physical…
The urging need for seamless connectivity in mobile environment has contributed to the rapid expansion of Mobile IP. Mobile IP uses wireless transmission medium, thereby making it subject to many security threats during various phases of…
