The wireless capabilities of modern Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) make them vulnerable to security attacks. One prominent attack, which has disastrous consequences for the patient’s wellbeing, is the battery Denial-of-Service attack whereby the IMD is occupied with continuous authentication requests from an adversary with the aim of depleting its battery. Zero-Power Defense (ZPD), based on energy harvesting, is known to be an excellent protection against these attacks. This paper raises essential design considerations for employing ZPD techniques in commercial IMDs, offers a critical review of ZPD techniques found in literature and, subsequently, gives crucial recommendations for developing comprehensive ZPD solutions.

正确执行零功耗防御:屏蔽IMD免受电池耗尽攻击
现代植入式医疗设备(IMD)的无线功能使它们容易受到安全攻击。电池拒绝服务攻击是一种严重的攻击,它对患者的健康造成了灾难性的后果。电池拒绝服务攻击是指,IMD被来自对手的持续身份验证请求所占用,目的是耗尽其电池。零能耗防御(ZPD)基于能量收集,是抵御这些攻击的出色防护。本文提出了在商业IMD中采用ZPD技术的基本设计注意事项,对文献中发现的ZPD技术进行了严格的审查,随后,为开发综合的ZPD解决方案提供了重要的建议。
