• Abstract: Smart home devices have found their way through people's homes as well as hearts. One such smart device is Amazon Alexa. Amazon Alexa is a voice-controlled application that is rapidly gaining popularity. Alexa was primarily used for checking weather forecasts, playing music, and controlling other devices. This paper tries to explore the extent to which people are aware of the privacy policies pertaining to the Amazon Alexa devices. We have evaluated behavioral change towards their interactions with the device post being aware of the adverse implications. Resulting knowledge will give researchers new avenues of research and interaction designers new insights into improving their systems.

  We present the first forensic examination of the Echo Show 15, Amazon's largest smart display running on Fire OS. We identify various local usage artifacts, such as searched products, streamed movies, visited websites, metadata of photos and videos. We utilize an insecurely stored token on the Echo Show 15 to obtain access to remote user artifacts in Amazon's cloud.

  Recent work has shown that commercial systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home are vulnerable to voice-based confusion attacks. We propose a systems-oriented defense against this class of attacks and demonstrate its functionality for Amazon Alexa. We build SkilIFence, a browser extension that existing voice assistant users can install to ensure that only legitimate skills run in response to their commands.

  In this paper, we examine the trends in how Android apps have changed over time with respect to privacy. We examine the adoption of HTTPS, whether apps scan the device for other installed apps, the use of permissions for privacy-sensitive data, and the use of unique identifiers. We find that privacy-related behavior has improved with time as apps continue to receive updates, and that the third-party libraries used by apps are responsible for more issues with privacy.
