Smart-TV security: risk analysis and experiments on Smart-TV communication channels

This paper focuses on the security threats related to smart-TV communication channels. A risk analysis is carried out to have a global view of potential risks that need to be addressed in the context of Smart-TV communication links. The feasibility of several identified risks is investigated experimentally. The experiments show some relevant security-related vulnerabilities on Smart-TV communications channels. Countermeasures to address these vulnerabilities are also investigated.
