N2 - USB interface is one of the most frequently used communication interfaces of computer, whose security problems come to appear gradually nowadays. However, people usually pay much more attention to the secure store and authenticated access rather than the security of USB cable. In this paper, a new attack approach on USB cable is proposed and a USB cable monitor is designed. Based on FPGA environment, practical monitoring experiments on common USB devices such as flash disk are made. Accordingly, some strategies against the monitoring USB cable attack are given based on cryptography.
