Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although mobile Java code is frequently executed on many wireless devices, the susceptibility to electromagnetic (EM) attacks is largely unknown. If analysis of EM waves emanating from the wireless device during a cryptographic computation does leak sufficient information, it may be possible for an attacker to reconstruct the secret key. Possession of the secret cryptographic key would render all future wireless communications insecure and cause further potential problems such as identity theft. Despite the complexities of a Java-based PDA device, this paper proposes and verifies a methodology which confirms EM attacks are possible. The proposed methodology involves pre-characterization of the PDA device through SEMA, thresholding, pattern recognition, and frequency-based DEMA. Results are repeatable over several different secret keys. Unlike previous research the new methodology does not require perfect alignment of EM frames and demonstrates robustness in the presence of a complex embedded system. This research is important for future wireless embedded systems which will increasingly demand higher levels of security.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
