New SPLICE Publication: A Smart Home Security and Privacy Workshop for the General Public

With ‘smart’ technology becoming more prevalent in homes, computing is increasingly embedded into everyday life. The benefits are well-advertised, but the risks associated with these technologies are not as clearly articulated. We aim to address this gap by educating community members on some of these risks, and providing actionable advice to mitigate risks. To this… Read More New SPLICE Publication: A Smart Home Security and Privacy Workshop for the General Public

New SPLICE Publication: Evaluating the practical range of harmonic radar to detect smart electronics

Previous work demonstrates the use of harmonic radars to accurately detect the presence of even ‘simple’ electronic devices, like a smart lightbulb, in a home setting. In this paper, we work to understand the range of a harmonic radar’s ability to discover electronic devices. With a two-antenna setup, we observed a range of at least 2… Read More New SPLICE Publication: Evaluating the practical range of harmonic radar to detect smart electronics

New SPLICE Publication on Culturally Responsive Strategies to Inspire African American Female Participation in Cybersecurity

To increase African American female participation in cybersecurity, STEM education requires a new approach to student engagement. The most common approach to engaging more African American women in STEM is to provide students with professional images or role models active in STEM; however, this is not enough. More race-centered strategies beyond role-modeling are needed to… Read More New SPLICE Publication on Culturally Responsive Strategies to Inspire African American Female Participation in Cybersecurity

SPLICE Publication: Template Attack Against AES-CTR With Unknown Initial Counter

Mathematical vulnerabilities of Advanced Encryption Standard in counter mode (AES-CTR) stem from misuse or reuse of the nonce. Assuming proper use of the nonce, unraveling the encryption becomes increasingly complex. SPLICE team members show full key recovery for a software implementation of AES-CTR using a template attack. They also refine the template attack’s points of… Read More SPLICE Publication: Template Attack Against AES-CTR With Unknown Initial Counter
