Predicting bus arrival time based on participatory mobile phone sensingSreeraj Puzhakkattiri
This document summarizes a seminar presentation about using mobile phone-based participatory sensing to predict bus arrival times. The proposed system involves sharing users on buses reporting their locations via cell tower signals to a backend server, which then matches the cell tower sequences to bus routes and estimates arrival times for querying users based on the bus's current location and historical data. An Android app was developed to collect accelerometer and audio data to detect when users board buses and classify the bus route. Experimental results found this approach could accurately predict bus arrival times using low power consumption methods compared to GPS.

Single Object Filtering, Single Target TrackingEngin Gul
This document provides an overview of single object filtering and single target tracking techniques. It discusses how single target tracking involves tracking a single target over time using a filter like the Kalman filter to estimate the target's state from sensor measurements. For single target tracking, the data association problem of assigning measurements to tracks is relatively simple when only one measurement exists per scan, but becomes more difficult when multiple measurements exist due to clutter. Common approaches like the nearest neighbor filter and probabilistic data association filter are described for dealing with this complexity.

This document summarizes research on inferring a driver's route using accelerometer data collected from their Apple Watch. The researchers designed a system with an application to collect accelerometer data from the watch and send it to an attacker's server. The extractor filters the raw data and calculates distance traveled. A turning detector uses machine learning algorithms to identify turns. A route drawer connects the locations to reconstruct the driver's route. Their experiments achieved 76-84% accuracy in inferring routes. The researchers conclude this is a privacy risk that shows sensitive information can be inferred through side-channel attacks using sensors.
MoLe: Motion Leaks through Smartwatch SensorsJoon Young Park
MoLe is a system that uses sensors in smartwatches to detect keystrokes by analyzing motion data during typing. It identifies keystroke-related movements using a bagged decision tree classifier and fits point clouds to determine centroids of typed characters. A Bayesian inference model incorporates sequential typing patterns and speed factors to assign probabilities to candidate words based on sensor observations. An evaluation with 8 subjects typing 300 words showed MoLe could guess words within the top 30% for 5 candidates and top 50% for 24 candidates. While sensor data leaks information, sampling rates can be reduced to mitigate these attacks. Wearables present both benefits and security risks that require consideration.

MACTANS: Injecting Malware into iOS Devices via Malicious ChargersJoon Young Park
Mactans is a proof-of-concept malicious charger that can inject malware into iOS devices via their charging port. It works by first obtaining the device's UDID to register it and generate a provisioning profile, allowing installation of apps signed by a non-Apple entity. The charger then replaces a legitimate app with a hidden, repackaged version containing malware. When launched, the malware executes before the original app. This attack highlights issues with iOS trusting any host device and the ease of provisioning profiles to install third-party apps without user interaction. Apple has since patched the vulnerabilities in iOS 7, but similar attacks may still target public charging stations or modified environments to infect devices stealthily.
Leave me alone; app level protection against runtime information gathering on...Joon Young Park
This document discusses runtime information gathering (RIG) attacks on Android and proposes an app-level protection called AppGuardian. It describes challenges in protecting against RIG attacks due to vague Android permissions and information leaked via /proc files. AppGuardian monitors app behavior and permissions to detect suspicious RIG attacks like phone call recording. It kills suspicious apps and restricts their actions until the user confirms them. Evaluation shows AppGuardian defeats known RIG attacks with minimal overhead on CPU, memory, and battery usage. The document concludes RIG is a serious threat and AppGuardian provides effective app-level protection.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

3. Paper introduction
• PowerSpy, Dan Boneh
• USENIX Security, 2015 / Acceptance ratio : 15.7%(67/426)
• Learn user’s location from reading phone’s power consumption
4. Contributions
• Showed power meter available on medern phones can reveal
potentially private information
• Developed the machine learning techniques for infer location
information from power meter data.
• Discussed potential continuation, countermeasures for this work.
5. Assumptions
• Malicious application is installed and running in background
• Only has permission to access power data, network communication
- Cannot measure the power consumed by the cellular radio alone.
• Prior knowledge of the area/routes through which the victim moves.
• Cannot locate a phone that is standing still.
16. • And we can get battery info without any permissions
Motivation
17. Challenges
• Pre-measurement may have different speed or stops.
• Have to identify the target’s power profile in many pre-collected
profiles along different routes
• Exact location of the target may be ambiguous
• Target may travel the road which the attacker partially measured.
34. Evaluation
• Nexus 4, Nexus 5, HTC
• Enough communication is occuring
• Driver might be using nav sw or streaming music
• Unexpected events (e.g., phone call) can be normalized using MA
