Abstract

Sensors authentication is a challenge that need to be properly addressed. In this paper we propose the use of physical events for sensors authentication. Unpredictability and uniqueness physical systems properties are explored to generate event identifiers from sensing information. Being unique and hard to guess, event identifiers can be used for strengthening authentication. Moreover, event identifiers provide evidences of authentication co-location and simultaneity, preventing relay and replay attacks. The authentication feasibility is demonstrated using sensing systems real cases related to vehicle crash test instrumentation, with promising results.
