QIF-T0058
highCalibration poisoning
Tier 3 — Demonstrated (Lab-proven)
Legacy status: DEMONSTRATED
Subtly corrupt BCI calibration data to maintain influence over signal interpretation across device resets. Cryptographically signed calibration data prevents. Recalibration audits detect drift.

Neurorights at Risk
This technique threatens 5 of the 4 proposed neurorights (Ienca & Andorno, 2017).
FDORA §3305 Compliance
- ! CVSS partially captures risk; neural dimensions missing
- ! Consent complexity under-matches neural impact (CCI/NISS mismatch)
Population Vulnerability
CRB vulnerability adjustment (γ=0.30) accounts for age, diagnosis severity, consent capacity, and device dependency.
| Population | NISS Base | Adjusted | Severity | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (Default) | 6.0 | 6.0 | Medium | - |
| Child (10yr) + ADHD | 6.0 | 7.1 | High ▲ | +1.06 |
| Adult with ALS | 6.0 | 7.0 | Medium | +0.97 |
