Cybersecurity in Brain-Computer Interfaces: RFID-based design-theoretical framework

Abstract Brain Computer Interface BCI is a real-time communication system that connects the brain and external devices. The BCI system can directly convert the information sent by the brain into com- mands that can drive external devices and replace human limbs or language organs to achieve hu- man communication with the outside world and the external environment Control. In other words, the BCI system can replace the normal peripheral nerve and muscle tissue to achieve communi- cation between the human and the computer or between the human and the external environment. The objective of this paper is to assist the network security for the BCI applications to identify brain activities in a secure real-time mode.To achieve this, we proposed the design of a Radio Fre- quency Identification RFID-based system having semi− active RFID tags placed outside the brain on the scalp transmit the collected brain activities wirelessly to a devise SC (Scanner Controller) consist of mini-reader and timer integrated together for every patient. Additionally, the paper im- plemented a novel system prototype interface called BCI Identification System (BCIIS) to assist the patient in the identification process. Given the benefits of RFID, we believed that if the idea is adopted and implemented by industry, it could enhance and provide secure BCI applications.
