A Signal Injection Attack Against Zero Involvement Pairing and Authentication for the Internet of Things
<|reference_start|>A Signal Injection Attack Against Zero Involvement Pairing and Authentication for the Internet of Things: Zero Involvement Pairing and Authentication (ZIPA) is a promising technique for autoprovisioning large networks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. In this work, we present the first successful signal injection attack on a ZIPA system. Most existing ZIPA systems assume there is a negligible amount of influence from the unsecured outside space on the secured inside space. In reality, environmental signals do leak from adjacent unsecured spaces and influence the environment of the secured space. Our attack takes advantage of this fact to perform a signal injection attack on the popular Schurmann & Sigg algorithm. The keys generated by the adversary with a signal injection attack at 95 dBA is within the standard error of the legitimate device.<|reference_end|>
