Illustration of the cover channel. The malware in the compromised computer transmits signals to the environment via vibrations induced on the table. A nearby infected smartphone detects the transmission, demodulates and decodes the data, and transfers it to the attacker via the Internet. Credit: arXiv:2004.06195 [cs.CR]

MIT researchers developed a transmitter that frequency hops data bits ultrafast to prevent signal jamming on wireless devices. The transmitter’s design (pictured) features bulk acoustic wave resonators (side boxes) that rapidly switch between radio frequency channels, sending data bits with each hop. A channel generator (top box) each microsecond selects the random channels to send bits. Two transmitters work in alternating paths (center boxes), so one receives channel selection, while the other sends data, to ensure ultrafast speeds.
