Driven Design"

Abstract:

In recent years, Internet-of-Thing (IoT) has experienced explosive growth
and rapidly penetrated into our daily life. Sensing is one of the core
function of IoTs to bridge digital space and physical world. However, the
market of IoT sensing applications is still in its infancy and far from
maturity. In this thesis, we design and build practical systems to explore
the potentials of IoT sensing. We first focus on the device-device
interaction.

Specifically, we design a lightweight scheme to extract physical-layer
signatures mainly resulting from surrounding environment to secure
wireless interaction between IoT devices. Second, we focus on the
human-device interaction. Specifically, we exploit the sensing capability
of IoT devices to design two liveness detection systems for heartsound
authentication and face authentication respectively to avoid unauthorized
access. In addition, we propose a driver hand position monitoring system
to help improve the driving safety. Third, we study the spoofing issue in
IoT sensing. We demonstrate attack schemes to generate adversarial ECG
examples to misguide arrhythmia classification systems, which calls
attention to adequate countermeasures.
