  • Manipulating inter-chip communications for IoT security
    Patent number: 11921912
    Abstract: Inter-chip communication data in an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device is manipulated and analyzed to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. Inter-chip communication data in the IoT device is captured. Communication direction, address format, flow control, communication timing, and communication structure associated with the inter-chip communication data is identified. Based on the foregoing identification(s), portions of the inter-chip communication data that require modification are identified so that that inter-chip communication data can be replayed. Based on the modification and the replaying, security vulnerabilities in the IoT device are identified and remediated.
