Amazon has been issued a patent on security measures that prevents people from comparison shopping while in the store. It’s not a particularly sophisticated patent — it basically detects when you’re using the in-store Wi-Fi to visit a competitor’s site and then blocks access — but it is an indication of how retail has changed … Read More “Amazon Patents Measures to Prevent In-Store Comparison Shopping” »
Interesting research: The radio signals emitted by a commercial Wi-Fi router can act as a kind of radar, providing images of the transmitter’s environment, according to new experiments. Two researchers in Germany borrowed techniques from the field of holography to demonstrate Wi-Fi imaging. They found that the technique could potentially allow users to peer through … Read More “Using Wi-Fi to Get 3D Images of Surrounding Location” »
This is impressive research: “When CSI Meets Public WiFi: Inferring Your Mobile Phone Password via WiFi Signals“: Abstract: In this study, we present WindTalker, a novel and practical keystroke inference framework that allows an attacker to infer the sensitive keystrokes on a mobile device through WiFi-based side-channel information. WindTalker is motivated from the observation that … Read More “Using Wi-Fi to Detect Hand Motions and Steal Passwords” »
Impressive remote hack of the Tesla Model S. Details. Video. The vulnerability has been fixed. Remember, a modern car isn’t an automobile with a computer in it. It’s a computer with four wheels and an engine. Actually, it’s a distributed 20-400-computer system with four wheels and an engine. Powered by WPeMatico
Another paper on using Wi-Fi for surveillance. This one is on identifying people by their body shape. “FreeSense:Indoor Human Identification with WiFi Signals“: Abstract: Human identification plays an important role in human-computer interaction. There have been numerous methods proposed for human identification (e.g., face recognition, gait recognition, fingerprint identification, etc.). While these methods could be … Read More “Using Wi-Fi Signals to Identify People by Body Shape” »
This is interesting research: “Keystroke Recognition Using WiFi Signals.” Basically, the user’s hand positions as they type distorts the Wi-Fi signal in predictable ways. Abstract: Keystroke privacy is critical for ensuring the security of computer systems and the privacy of human users as what being typed could be passwords or privacy sensitive information. In this … Read More “Keystroke Recognition from Wi-Fi Distortion” »
Good paper, and layman’s explanation. Internet voting scares me. It gives hackers the potential to seriously disrupt our democratic processes. Powered by WPeMatico
