Vibration Side-Channel Attacks Bypass 3D Printer Noise Cancellation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have demonstrated that Active Motor Noise Cancellation (AMNC), a hardware defense against acoustic side-channel attacks in 3D printers, is ineffective against vibration-based attacks. While AMNC successfully neutralizes the acoustic channel, the vibration channel still leaks information about the printed object. A temporal model analyzing the vibration waveform over the course of printing achieved approximately 61% accuracy in identifying printed objects, indicating a significant vulnerability that AMNC does not address. The study utilized data from Bambu Lab printers and found the vibration leak to be device-specific, suggesting that while AMNC protects the acoustic channel, other channels like vibration, magnetic, or power remain susceptible to attacks.
