Integrating Security with Accuracy Evaluation in Sensors Fusion

This paper presents a novel approach of integrating sensor accuracy and sensor platform security in overall sensor system evaluation and presents a new developed method and a software tool that are designed to assist the sensor community in assessing the security aspect of complex sensor platforms such as smartphones. We recommend conducting sensor platform security evaluation along with the accuracy estimation and employing them together while designing sensor fusion. We developed a mobile platform's security evaluation tool, which we describe in this paper, and encourage its application in this process. Also, we describe a use case that shows how sensors fusion may affect not only sensor accuracy but also data security in practice. By introducing security into sensor system design at the earlier stage, we try to bridge sensor accuracy and security evaluation.
