@misc{zeppelzauer_ultrasonic_2018, address = {Wien, Austria}, type = {Invited talk}, title = {Ultrasonic {Communication} {Risks} and {Chances} of a {Novel} {Technology}}, abstract = {The ultrasonic frequency band represents a novel and so far hardly used channel for the communication of different devices, such as mobile phones, computers, TVs, and personal assistants like Google Chromecast. Ultrasonic communication is a promising technology since it requires only a standard loudspeaker and a microphone (as built into our phones) for communication. While offering a number of opportunities for innovative services (e.g. in the domain of Internet of Things), the technology, however, also bears a number risks. Companies like Silverpush employ ultrasonic data exchange to track users across devices and to collect information about their behavoir without their knowledge. In my talk I will present the novel technology of ultrasonic communication, show how it works and which risks and chances are linked to it. Additionally, I will present the project SoniControl which aims at the development of an ultrasonic firewall to protect the privacy of users as well as the project SoniTalk which aims at developing a safe and privacy-oriented protocol for ultrasonic communication.}, language = {English}, author = {Zeppelzauer, Matthias}, month = jan, year = {2018}, note = {Projekt: SoCo}, keywords = {2018, Center for Artificial Intelligence, Department Medien und Digitale Technologien, Department Technologie, FH SP Cyber Security, FH SP Data Analytics \& Visual Computing, Forschungsgruppe Media Computing, Institut für Creative Media Technologies, Invited Talk, Machine Learning, Media Computing Group, Präsentation, Publikationstyp Vortrag, Wiss.
