Abstract:

The security and privacy risks posed by smartphone
sensors such as microphones and cameras have been well documented.
However, the importance of accelerometers have been
largely ignored. We show that accelerometer readings can be
used to infer the trajectory and starting point of an individual
who is driving. This raises concerns for two main reasons.
First, unauthorized access to an individual’s location is a serious
invasion of privacy and security. Second, current smartphone
operating systems allow any application to observe accelerometer
readings without requiring special privileges. We demonstrate that
accelerometers can be used to locate a device owner to within a
200 meter radius of the true location. Our results are comparable
to the typical accuracy for handheld global positioning systems.
