AI总结:

LightGuard利用LiFi的物理限制替代WiFi,通过双链架构将密钥建立转移至LiFi通道,避免RF信号泄露风险,实验验证了其有效性。

摘要:

WiFi固有易受窃听攻击,因其RF信号可穿透多物理边界。LiFi作为一种光方法,受限于视距且被不透明表面阻挡。我们提出LightGuard,基于此洞察构建双链架构:将加密密钥建立从WiFi转移到物理受限的LiFi通道以降低RF上密钥暴露的风险。LightGuard通过LiFi链路生成会话密钥并安装到WiFi接口,确保加密材料 never traverses the open RF medium。使用商用WiFi NICs和我们的LiFi收发器前端的原型验证了设计。

英文摘要:

WiFi is inherently vulnerable to eavesdropping because RF signals may penetrate many physical boundaries, such as walls and floors. LiFi, by contrast, is an optical method confined to line-of-sight and blocked by opaque surfaces. We present LightGuard, a dual-link architecture built on this insight: cryptographic key establishment can be offloaded from WiFi to a physically confined LiFi channel to mitigate the risk of key exposure over RF. LightGuard derives session keys over a LiFi link and installs them on the WiFi interface, ensuring cryptographic material never traverses the open RF medium. A prototype with off-the-shelf WiFi NICs and our LiFi transceiver frontend validates the design.
