Cardiac Implantable Medical Devices forensics: Postmortem analysis of lethal attacks scenarios

摘要

Cardiac Implantable Medical devices (IMD) are increasingly being used by patients to benefit from their therapeutic and life-saving functions. These medical devices are surgically implanted into patient's bodies and wirelessly configured by prescribing physicians and healthcare professionals using external programmers. However, these devices are threatened by a set of lethal attacks, due to the use of vulnerable wireless communication and security protocols, and the lack of security protection mechanisms deployed on IMDs.
