Abstract

National level attention, resources, and priority regarding critical infrastructure have increased in recent years. This has led to adversaries and defenders exchanging positions between fortification and exploitation. One area that continues to be vulnerable is supply chain attacks like counterfeit insertion. This work investigates the application of converting collected signals into images from devices that may be considered for these critical networks. There are several aspects regarding the conversion of signals into images - specifically Red, Green, Blue (RGB) images. The methodology proposed here is potentially ideal fit for an initial security layer by achieving comparable classification results as more robust detection methods while achieving increased speed and requiring less computational resources.
