Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term given to the wide variety of connected devices, which now are inescapable in our daily lives. Examples of common IoT devices found in many homes and businesses include light bulbs, smart speakers, door locks and cameras. This chapter begins with an introduction to the specific IoT device and architecture, along with a discussion of the threat model and the bootloader and encryption used for firmware updates on this device. It presents a side-channel attack on the bootloader and allows us to send firmware, which will be accepted by the device. The chapter presents a brief summary of the required work to form a complete attack. It focuses on the demonstration of how knowledge about the attacks and AES implementation is applied in “real life”. Finding the AES key for the bootloader allows signing of firmware images that will be accepted by the lamp.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
