Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium 2024 · Day 1 · Side-Channel Attacks
This talk, presented by Tejas Kannan at the NDSS Symposium, uncovers a novel acoustic side-channel attack targeting the virtual keyboards of popular Smart Televisions (Smart TVs). With projections of over 266 million units sold globally by 2025, Smart TVs have become ubiquitous, offering extensive functionality from web browsing to product purchasing. This expanded utility, however, introduces significant security vulnerabilities, particularly concerning the privacy of sensitive information like passwords and credit card details entered via on-screen virtual keyboards.
