Thermal Side Channels Create New Security Risks For Autonomous Vehicles (Missouri S&T)

Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology published “Can Autonomous Vehicles Keep Their Cool? A Survey of Thermal Side-Channel and Perception Attacks.” Abstract excerpt : “This survey systematizes thirteen representative works into thermal perception integrity, telemetry leakage, and model-information extraction, comparing them by privilege, timescale, co-tenancy, deployability, and AV relevance. We distinguish attack family from adversary class and map defenses to residual ri
