Apple Continuity protocols are the underlying network component of Apple Continuity services which allow seamless nearby applications such as activity and file transfer, device pairing and sharing a network connection. Those protocols rely on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to exchange information between devices: Apple Continuity messages are embedded in the...More>>

This paper provides an overview of the application of formal methods for two most commonly used application layer protocols in IoT domain, MQTT and CoAP. Formal methods give the possibility to improve security and are even able to provide security guarantees with respect to a given model. Our research shows,...More>>

Microcontrollers storing valuable data or using security functions are vulnerable to fault injection attacks. Among the various types of faults, instruction skips induced at runtime proved to be effective against identification routines or encryption algorithms. Several research works assessed a fault model that consists in a single instruction skip, i.e....More>>

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol is being included in a growing number of connected objects such as fitness trackers and headphones. As part of the service discovery mechanism of BLE, devices announce themselves by broadcasting radio signals called advertisement packets that can be collected with off-the-shelf hardware and software....More>>

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a short range wireless technology included in many consumer devices such as smartphones, earphones and wristbands. As part of the Attribute (ATT) protocol, discover- able BLE devices expose a data structure called Generic Attribute (GATT) profile that describes supported features using concepts of services and...More>>

IoT devices often operate unsupervised in ever-changing environments for several years. Therefore, they need to be updated on a regular basis. Current approaches for software updates on IoT, like the recent SUIT proposal, focus on granting integrity and confidentiality but do not analyze the content of the software update, especially...More>>

Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards enabling high performance deterministic communication using different scheduling mechanisms. Due to the size of industrial networks, configuring TSN networks is challenging to be done manually. We present TSNsched, a tool for automatic generation of schedules for TSN. TSNsched takes as input...More>>

Machine learning algorithms found their way into a surprisingly wide range of applications, providing utility and allowing for insights gathered from data in a way never before possible. Those tools, however, have not been developed with security in mind. A deployed algorithm can meet a multitude of risks in the...More>>

With the increasing system interconnectivity, cyber-attacks on safety-critical systems can lead to catastrophic events.This calls for a better safety and security integration. Indeed, asafety assessment contains security relevant information, such as,key safety hazards, that shall not be triggered by cyber-attacks.Guidelines, such as, SAE J3061 and ED202A, already recommendto exchange information...More>>
