Fingerprinting Robot Movements via Acoustic Side Channel. (arXiv:2209.10240v1 [cs.CR])

In this paper, we present an acoustic side channel attack which makes use of
smartphone microphones recording a robot in operation to exploit acoustic
properties of the sound to fingerprint a robot's movements. In this work we
consider the possibility of an insider adversary who is within physical
proximity of a robotic system (such as a technician or robot operator),
equipped with only their smartphone microphone. Through the acoustic
side-channel, we demonstrate that it is indeed possible to fingerprint not …
