Title: Systematic Investigation of Sensor Spoofing Attacks to Autonomous Systems
Abstract
Robotic Vehicles (RVs) have gained great popularity over the past few years. Meanwhile, they are also demonstrated to be vulnerable to sensor spoofing attacks. By injecting malicious fake data into the sensors, an external adversary is able to trick a victim RV into taking dangerous actions, which could cause severe security and safety consequences. In this talk, we will investigate sensor spoofing attacks from two perspectives. First, we propose a novel action flow model to systematically describe robotic function executions and unexplored sensor spoofing threats. Second, we introduce new defense frameworks, which leverage state-of-the-art deep learning technology to detect different types of sensor spoofing attacks in a holistic and unified manner.
