Neurosecurity: security and privacy for neural devices

Neurosecurity: security and privacy for neural devices.

An increasing number of neural implantable devices will become available in the near future due to advances in neural engineering. This discipline holds the potential to improve many patients' lives dramatically by offering improved-and in some cases entirely new-forms of rehabilitation for conditions ranging from missing limbs to degenerative cognitive diseases. The use of standard engineering...

Tackling Security and Privacy Issues in Radio Frequency Identification Devices

This paper introduces shortly into the security and privacy issues of RFID systems and presents a simple approach to greatly enhance location privacy by changing traceable identifiers securely on every read attempt. The scheme gets by with only a single, unreliable message exchange. By employing one-way hash functions the scheme is safe from many security threats. It is intended for use in item...

Improving the security and privacy of implantable medical devices.

I n 1982, the threat to the security of the world's drug supply was recognized when seven people died from taking Tylenol that had purposely been contaminated with cyanide. The scare spawned federal laws, regulatory modifications , and a revolution in drug packaging. These interventions greatly secured the billions of pills, capsules, tablets, and liquids that have since been consumed. Today, m...
