However, few empirical studies have looked at these problems at scale, partly because a large variety and number of smart-home IoT devices are often closed-source and on private home networks, thus making it difficult for researchers to systematically observe the actual security and privacy issues faced by users in the wild.<br class=""> <br class="">In this talk, I describe two methods for researchers to empirically understand these risks to real end-users: (i) emulating user-inputs to study how thousands of smart TV channels (i.e., apps) track viewers [CCS ‘19]; and (ii) crowdsourcing network traffic from thousands of real smart home networks [in submission]. Both methods have allowed us to conduct the largest security and privacy studies on smart TV and other IoT devices to date. Our labeled datasets have also created new opportunities for other research areas, such as machine learning, network management, and healthcare.</span></font></div><font face="Arial" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class=""><b class="">Bio:</b><br class=""></font><span class=""><font color="#000000" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Danny Y.
