There is already a wireless USB.
WBE would essentially replace the cable. It is invisible to upper stacks. There is encryption/scrambling. I'm sure there are vectors for snooping attacks but I don't see viable "imitation" attacks where you could issue commands on behalf of the other device.
- wigigpci 12y agoNo need to issue commands, just provide an Option ROM over Wi-Fi like this attack. It's the same PCI protocol after all, just over Wi-Fi...
- bravo22 12y agoPCIe is a bus. It is the drivers that would choose to read and execute option ROM. It isn't part of the protocol actually. If your peripheral device is compromised by a third party (say NSA) then it doesn't matter if it is over wireless or cable.
