Satellite Communication without Privacy - Attacker's Paradise
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we highlight the fact that a huge amount of information is sent unsecured via satellite broadcast data channels (here: encapsulated in DVB-s). By applying straightforward data analysis it is possible for any attacker equipped with a digital satellite dish and a DVB card PC to derive extensive confidential information on single users (e.g., legal name, banking details, monthly income facts, mail content etc.) as well as to hijack the user’s web identities (e.g., online auction accounts). Many users do not seem to know or to care that broadcasted data can be easily intercepted; moreover even commercial users let high confidential customer related data (e.g. tender calculation details, negotiations with military customers) be sent unsecured via broadcast channels.

متن کاملBlind Certification of Public Keys and Efficiently Revocable Cash: Secure Against Capable Attackers
Electronic cash should be revocable in order to nullify the effect of attacks mounted by a capable attacker (e.g., double spending by reverse-engineering tamper-resistant devices). For prudent engineering considerations, cash revocability forms a necessary complementary measure to using tamper-resistant devices, adding system security while lowering system cost by reducing the level of physical...
متن کاملRadio Frequency Identification (RFID): Privacy and Security
Despite its long history, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is considered as one of the most promising wireless technology in future ubiquitous computing environments. However, it’s a very different form of technology than today’s other wireless dominants such as cellular, satellite, and wireless computer networks. In short, RFID is a contactless, automatic, ultra-light, super-cheap, and ex...
متن کاملQuery Pre-Execution and Batching in Paradise: A Two-Pronged Approach to the Efficient Processing of Queries on Tape-Resident Raster Images
The focus of the Paradise project [1,2] is to design and implement a scalable database system capable of storing and processing massive data sets such as those produced by NASA’s EOSDIS project. This paper describes extensions to Paradise to handle the execution of queries involving collections of satellite images stored on tertiary storage. Several modifications were made to Paradise in order ...
متن کاملDistributed Denial of Privacy
For many years, privacy has not been considered as a critical issue in the field of software development. Recent events have led to discussions how the privacy of the user can be protected in information systems. While most approaches do only focus on increasing the security of the systems to protect private information against uncontrolled access, the aspect of enhancing privacy itself has bee...
