Hi! I’m Qinhong Jiang, a PhD candidate and security researcher at Zhejiang University. I work at the Ubiquitous System Security Laboratory (USSLAB), where I’m honored to be advised by Prof. Wenyuan Xu, Prof. Xiaoyu Ji and Dr. Chen Yan.

My research aims to protect the security and privacy of cyber-physical systems, with an emphasis on the information security problems caused by these systems’ vulnerabilities against electromagnetic waves. Most of my research focuses on conducting intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) attacks to disrupt the reliability and integrity of cyber-physical systems and recovering private information from unintentional electromagnetic (EM) leakage. I’m also interested in side channel, covert channel, machine learning security, embedded system security, and anything in security research that involves signals and physics. I’m open to collaborate.

• [Sep 15, 2023] My co-first authored paper EM Eye has been accepted at NDSS’24 without revisions. We demonstrate how attackers may eavesdrop on cameras and recover high-quality images in real time by analyzing camera’s side-channel EM leakage. Demos will be put up soon!
• [Jun 22, 2023] My paper GhostType paper has been accepted at NDSS’24. We uncover a new class of vulnerabilities that can be exploited to induce phantom keystrokes (especially the keys that do not exist on the physical keyboard) into keyboards’ analog circuits in a contactless way using intentional electromagnetic interference. Demos will be put up soon!
• [Jul 15, 2022] My paper GlitchHiker has been accepted at USENIX’23. We uncover the vulnerabilities of image signal transmission and demonstrate how attackers may actively induce controlled glitch images of a camera at various positions, widths, and numbers using intentional electromagnetic interference.
• [Mar 14, 2022] Our survey paper on voice assistant security has been accepted by ACM Computing Surveys.
