Accountability of Things: Large-Scale Tamper-Evident Logging for Smart Devices. (arXiv:2308.05557v1 [cs.CR])

Our modern world relies on a growing number of interconnected and interacting
devices, leading to a plethora of logs establishing audit trails for all kinds
of events. Simultaneously, logs become increasingly important for forensic
investigations, and thus, an adversary will aim to alter logs to avoid
culpability, e.g., by compromising devices that generate and store logs. Thus,
it is essential to ensure that no one can tamper with any logs without going
undetected. However, existing approaches to establish tamper evidence …
