IDEA: Intrusion Detection through Electromagnetic-Signal Analysis for Critical Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems

We propose a novel framework called IDEA that exploits electromagnetic (EM) side-channel signals to detect malicious activity on embedded and cyber-physical systems (CPS). IDEA first records EM emanations from an uncompromised reference device to establish a baseline of reference EM patterns. IDEA then monitors the target device's EM emanations. When the observed EM emanations deviate from the ref...
