 |
|
Researchers in the US have identified a new security risk in the sensors of implantable medical devices such as defibrillators and pacemakers.
In experiments using simulated human models, the team found that they could forge an erratic heartbeat with radio frequency electromagnetic waves.
Theoretically, a false signal could inhibit needed pacing or cause unnecessary defibrillation shocks.
Beyond medical devices, the team also discovered vulnerabilities in analogue sensors used in microphones in Bluetooth headsets and computers used in web based phone calls.
"We found that these analogue devices generally trust what they receive from their sensors, and that path is weak and could be exploited," said University of Michigan researcher Denis Foo Kune.
One solution, according to Kune, would be to create software that identifies whether or not the signals being received are authentic.
The researchers emphasise that they know of no case where a hacker has corrupted an implanted cardiac device, and doing so in the real world would be extremely difficult.

A number of emerging technologies will soon have a dramatic impact on our lives. The way we work, rest and play will change big time. Soon everything that you own will know that you own it! Your car will know that you are the owner, your fridge, your kitchen knife, everything! Cyberspace will become fully integrated into the physical world and we will take for granted real time information about object status, just like we started to take time as a natural phenomena.

The best way to ensure that your family's safety and security are well-protected would be to install system for house alarms in your home. Today, more and more home owners are considering this option since there is an increasing awareness of the dangers lurking in today's society. Add to that, there are other factors that might put your family at risk, even when no other person is intruding your home.

Implant miniaturization will continue to put pressure on battery manufacturers to develop ever smaller energy sources. Implants are also finding their way into younger patients who expect these implants to last a longer time before replacement. As the human population generally enjoys an increased life span, the need for more implants with longer life increases, creating additional demand for long-lasting power sources.

In a correctional environment, security sensors can be used to immediately detect prison escape attempts. A quality outdoor security system demonstrates a significant return on investment by reducing the risk of theft, damage or personal injury.

The problem with many of the current wave of electronic medical implants is that they are made out of synthetic materials that the body has to adapt to. The adaption can go awry sometimes and people find that their body actually rejects the implant and this can lead to a massive array of health issues.
