| contents | Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming increasingly commonplace in numerous public and semi-private settings. Currently, most such devices lack mechanisms to facilitate their discovery by casual (nearby) users who are not owners or operators. However, these users are potentially being sensed, and/or actuated upon, by these devices, without their knowledge or consent. This naturally triggers privacy, security, and safety issues.
To address this problem, some recent work explored device transparency in the IoT ecosystem. The intuitive approach is for each device to periodically and securely broadcast (announce) its presence and capabilities to all nearby users. While effective, when no new users are present, this push-based approach generates a substantial amount of unnecessary network traffic and needlessly interferes with normal device operation.
In this work, we construct DB-PAISA which addresses these issues via a pull-based method, whereby devices reveal their presence and capabilities only upon explicit user request. Each device guarantees a secure timely response (even if fully compromised by malware) based on a small active Root-of-Trust (RoT). DB-PAISA requires no hardware modifications and is suitable for a range of current IoT devices. To demonstrate its feasibility and practicality, we built a fully functional and publicly available prototype. It is implemented atop a commodity MCU (NXP LCP55S69) and operates in tandem with a smartphone-based app. Using this prototype, we evaluate energy consumption and other performance factors. |
