Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have significantly improved the quality of life of many people through, but not limited to, helping with various medical conditions. Given the recent development of BCIs to enable brain-to-internet and brain-to-brain communication a possibility for cybercriminals is generated, posing tremendous risk to the personal information and health of an individual. This paper presents characterizations of security attacks described in literature, along with their impact and countermeasures.
