This paper establishes a fundamental theory of secure clock synchronization. Accurate clock synchronization is the backbone of systems managing power distribution, financial transactions, telecommunication operations, database services, etc. Some clock synchronization (time transfer) systems, such as the global navigation satellite systems, are based on one-way communication from a master to a slave clock. Others, such as the network transport protocol, and the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP), involve two-way communication between the master and slave. This paper shows that all one-way time transfer protocols are vulnerable to replay attacks that can potentially compromise timing information. A set of conditions for secure two-way clock synchronization is proposed and proved to be necessary and sufficient. It is shown that IEEE 1588 PTP, although a two-way synchronization protocol, is not compliant with these conditions, and is therefore insecure. Requirements for secure IEEE 1588 PTP are proposed, and a second example protocol is offered to illustrate the range of compliant systems.
The GNSS jamming and spoofing threat has been recognized in the literature for more than a decade. A survey of the current state-of-the-art in spoofing and anti-spoofing techniques is presented in @cite_20 . Recent works on GNSS anti-spoofing techniques have specifically focused on the case of timing security. Collaborative multi-receiver @cite_38 and direct time estimation @cite_40 techniques have been proposed for robust GNSS clock synchronization.

Many prior face anti-spoofing works develop discriminative models for recognizing the subtle differences between live and spoof faces. Those approaches often regard the image as an indivisible unit, and process it holistically, without explicit modeling of the spoofing process. In this work, motivated by the noise modeling and denoising algorithms, we identify a new problem of face de-spoofing, for the purpose of anti-spoofing: inversely decomposing a spoof face into a spoof noise and a live face, and then utilizing the spoof noise for classification. A CNN architecture with proper constraints and supervisions is proposed to overcome the problem of having no ground truth for the decomposition. We evaluate the proposed method on multiple face anti-spoofing databases. The results show promising improvements due to our spoof noise modeling. Moreover, the estimated spoof noise provides a visualization which helps to understand the added spoof noise by each spoof medium. In this chapter, we give an overview of spoofing attacks and spoofing countermeasures for face recognition systems , with a focus on visual spectrum systems (VIS) in 2D and 3D, as well as near-infrared (NIR) and multispectral systems . We cover the existing types of spoofing attacks and report on their success to bypass several state-of-the-art face recognition systems. The results on two different face spoofing databases in VIS and one newly developed face spoofing database in NIR show that spoofing attacks present a significant security risk for face recognition systems in any part of the spectrum. The risk is partially reduced when using multispectral systems. We also give a systematic overview of the existing anti-spoofing techniques, with an analysis of their advantages and limitations and prospective for future work. As Face Recognition(FR) technology becomes more mature and commercially available in the market, many different anti-spoofing techniques have been recently developed to enhance the security, reliability, and effectiveness of FR systems. As a part of anti-spoofing techniques, face liveness detection plays an important role to make FR systems be more secured from various attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel method for face liveness detection by using focus, which is one of camera functions. In order to identify fake faces (e.g. 2D pictures), our approach utilizes the variation of pixel values by focusing between two images sequentially taken in different focuses. The experimental result shows that our focus-based approach is a new method that can significantly increase the level of difficulty of spoof attacks, which is a way to improve the security of FR systems. The performance is evaluated and the proposed method achieves 100 fake detection in a given DoF(Depth of Field). Face anti-spoofing is crucial to prevent face recognition systems from a security breach. Previous deep learning approaches formulate face anti-spoofing as a binary classification problem. Many of them struggle to grasp adequate spoofing cues and generalize poorly. In this paper, we argue the importance of auxiliary supervision to guide the learning toward discriminative and generalizable cues. A CNN-RNN model is learned to estimate the face depth with pixel-wise supervision, and to estimate rPPG signals with sequence-wise supervision. The estimated depth and rPPG are fused to distinguish live vs. spoof faces. Further, we introduce a new face anti-spoofing database that covers a large range of illumination, subject, and pose variations. Experiments show that our model achieves the state-of-the-art results on both intra- and cross-database testing.
