SoK: Acoustic Side Channels

Ping Wang, Shishir Nagaraja, Aurélien Bourquard, Haichang Gao, Jeff Yan

We provide a state-of-the-art analysis of acoustic side channels, cover all the significant academic research in the area, discuss their security implications and countermeasures, and identify areas for future research. We also make an attempt to bridge side channels and inverse problems, two fields that appear to be completely isolated from each other but have deep connections.
