This data is typically synchronized with a companion app running on a smartphone over a Bluetooth (Classic or Low Energy) connection. In this work, we investigate what can be inferred from the metadata (such as the packet timings and sizes) of encrypted Bluetooth communications between a wearable device and its connected smartphone. We show that a passive eavesdropper can use traffic-analysis attacks to accurately recognize (a) communicating devices, even without having access to the MAC address, (b) human actions (e.g., monitoring heart rate, exercising) performed on wearable devices ranging from fitness trackers to smartwatches, (c) the mere opening of specific applications on a Wear OS smartwatch (e.g., the opening of a medical app, which can immediately reveal a condition of the wearer), (d) fine-grained actions (e.g., recording an insulin injection) within a specific application that helps diabetic users to monitor their condition, and (e) the profile and habits of the wearer by continuously monitoring her traffic over an extended period. We run traffic-analysis attacks by collecting a dataset of Bluetooth communications concerning a diverse set of wearable devices, by designing features based on packet sizes and timings, and by using machine learning to classify the encrypted traffic to actions performed by the wearer. Then, we explore standard defense strategies against traffic-analysis attacks such as padding, delaying packets, or injecting dummy traffic. We show that these defenses do not provide sufficient protection against our attacks and introduce significant costs. Overall, our research highlights the need to rethink how applications exchange sensitive information over Bluetooth, to minimize unnecessary data exchanges, and to research and design new defenses against traffic-analysis tailored to the wearable setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3463512","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T16:29:19Z","timestamp":1624552159000},"page":"1-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Every Byte Matters"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Ludovic","family":"Barman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EPFL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Dumur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPFL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Apostolos","family":"Pyrgelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPFL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Hubaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPFL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"2015.
