Can You Still See Me?: Reconstructing Robot Operations Over End-to-End Encrypted Channels. (arXiv:2205.08426v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Connected robots play a key role in Industry 4.0, providing automation and
higher efficiency for many industrial workflows. Unfortunately, these robots
can leak sensitive information regarding these operational workflows to remote
adversaries. While there exists mandates for the use of end-to-end encryption
for data transmission in such settings, it is entirely possible for passive
adversaries to fingerprint and reconstruct entire workflows being carried out
-- establishing an understanding of how facilities operate. In this paper, we
investigate whether a remote …
