Abstract

The computer security community has recently begun research on the security and privacy issues associated with implantable medical devices and identified both existing flaws and new techniques to improve future devices. This paper surveys some of the recent work from the security community and highlights three of the major factors affecting security and privacy solutions for implantable medical devices: fundamental tensions, software risks, and human factors. We also present two challenges from the security community with which the biomedical community may be able to help: access to medical devices and methods for experimentation.

Keywords: security privacy imd wireless risk human factors
