  1. Secure Mobile Computingusing Biotelemetrics Mahlon Graham University of Virginia NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates

  2. Contents • Motivation • Patch Simulator • State Diagram • State Definitions • Secure Mobile Computing in Action • Future Work • Special Thanks

  3. Motivation • Secure Mobile Computing is a way to protect data stored on mobile computing devices, such as PDA’s, laptops, as well as specialized Military equipment. • Use biometric data to authenticate • Heart beat, respiratory, body heat

  4. Motivation • What sort of data should be secured? • Corporation Trade Secrets • Sensitive Financial Information • In-the-field troop movements, etc • What could happen to the user? • User goes unconscious, device becomes vulnerable • User taken hostage, forced to access sensitive data • User becomes deceased, device taken by enemies

  5. How to determine user status • Wearable biometric patch transmits heart beat data packets to mobile device • Software interprets data and acts according to set of predefined events • Event triggers • Low heart rate for a given time • Elevated heart rate for a given time • Dramatic elevation of heart rate over short time • Timeout • Disconnection

  6. Patch Simulator • Developed to duplicate heart beat data in controllable manner • Key features: • Modular communication protocols to allow for simple addition of proprietary communication channel if necessary • Displays summary of key information • Scenario-based heart rate modification

  7. State Diagram • State Diagram

  8. State Definitions • Locked State – Nothing done to data, but not currently available to user • multiple authentication required to unlock device • Safe State – Data is secure, cannot be easily recovered • Delete Data • Encrypt Data • Secure Delete / Wipe Data • Hard Reset – Device totally wiped, returned to factory settings

  9. Secure Mobile Computing in Action! Demonstrate functionality of all elements of the system

  10. Future Work • Implement Secure Mobile software as background process • Policy Controls in action unbeknownst to user • Integrate additional biometrics • Respiration • Body Temperature • Optimize and increase robustness of checkHRChange() algorithm

  11. Special Thanks to… • Dr. Alfred C. Weaver • Andrew Jurik • Paul Bui and Joel Coffman
