Last year at Black Hat USA 2022 Nozomi Networks Labs presented vulnerabilities discovered in the network protocols of Sewio and Avalue Ultra-wideband (UWB) Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) sensors. Our team demonstrated how these could be manipulated to compromise the security of the entire locating system. More details can be found in our blog and white paper.
Recently, we decided to analyze another popular solution of UWB-based RTLS, the Ubisense Dimension4 3D tracking system. These sensors are used globally in industrial sectors including defense, manufacturing, healthcare, and transit management, to improve the efficiency of processes by tracking the exact position of equipment, tools, kits and components used in production. Similar to other UWB RTLS, however, this system is also deployed in more sensitive use cases such as hospital patient positions and movement tracking, contact tracing, geofencing, and more, where the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information play a crucial role. ...read more!
