Energy Attack Mitigation for Intermittent Computing Devices

Sammanfattning

Energy attacks against energy-harvesting intermittent devices let a malicious agent shut downthe device without physical or network access. Energy attacks can prevent a sensor device from collecting important sensor data due to being powered down. We present an attack mitigation system for energy harvesting devices that improves quality of service during energy attacks.The attack mitigation system helps prevent or delay the device from running out of energy and powering down, which maximises the device's ability to provide sensor data despite energy attacks. We show that the attack mitigation system is effective by simulating an energyharvesting device in a range of energy conditions.
