Smart Light-Based Information Leakage Attacks

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Modern Internet-enabled smart lights promise energy efficiency and many additional capabilities over traditional bulbs. However, these connected lights also expose a new attack surface, which can be maliciously used to violate users' privacy and security. We design and evaluate novel inference attacks that take advantage of the light emitted by these smart lights to infer sensitive user data and preferences.
