Security and Robustness of Wireless Sensing: A Survey

PhD Qualifying Examination


Title: "Security and Robustness of Wireless Sensing: A Survey"

by

Mr. Yuxuan ZHOU


Abstract:

Recent years have witnessed the rapid developments of wireless sensing 
technologies due to the non-intrusive and privacy-inviolate nature of wireless 
signals. WiFi and millimeter-wave are two kinds of wireless signals that are 
promising in a set of emerging applications, ranging from intrusion detection, 
gesture recognition, indoor localization, vital sign monitoring, etc. These 
applications are valuable in various daily scenarios, including safety 
protection, human-computer interaction, and smart healthcare. Despite the 
continuously improved performances of the wireless sensing applications, the 
security vulnerabilities of these sensing systems lack systematical 
investigation. The vulnerabilities may cause serious consequences, especially 
involving personal and property safety.

In this survey, we first introduce the sensing modalities and basic techniques 
respectively. Next, we review the related research categorized in terms of 
their applications. Then we will introduce the security issues in wireless 
sensing systems. Finally, we summarize our survey and discuss some possible 
future directions.
