Rainbow Artifacts from Electromagnetic Signal Injection Attacks on Image Sensors
Image sensors are integral to a wide range of safety- and security-critical systems, including surveillance infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. These systems rely on the integrity of visual data to make decisions. In this work, we investigate a novel class of electromagnetic signal injection attacks that target the analog domain of image sensors, allowing adversaries to manipulate raw visual inputs without triggering conventional digital integrity checks. We uncover …

The CASE Framework -- A New Architecture for Participatory Research and Digital Health Surveillance
We present the CASE framework, an open-source platform for adaptive, context-aware participatory research, and pandemic preparedness. CASE implements an event-driven architecture that enables dynamic survey workflows, allowing real-time adaptation based on participant responses, external data, temporal conditions, and evolving user states. The framework supports a broad range of research needs, from simple one-time questionnaires to complex longitudinal studies with advanced conditional logic. …

The president has warned that protesters in D.C. will be
“met with very heavy force.”
Democrats and civil rights groups say the president is inflaming tensions to justify further repr…
