TLDR
A resurrecting duckling security policy model is presented, which describes secure transient association of a device with multiple serialised owners over the air in a short range wireless channel.Abstract:
In the near future, many personal electronic devices will be able to communicate with each other over a short range wireless channel. We investigate the principal security issues for such an environment. Our discussion is based on the concrete example of a thermometer that makes its readings available to other nodes over the air. Some lessons learned from this example appear to be quite general to ad-hoc networks, and rather different from what we have come to expect in more conventional systems: denial of service, the goals of authentication, and the problems of naming all need re-examination. We present the resurrecting duckling security policy model, which describes secure transient association of a device with multiple serialised owners.read more

Enabling secure high-performance wireless ad hoc networking
Yih-Chun Hu,David B. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanism of link-state caching is presented, which improves the ability of source-routed on-demand routing protocols to retain much of the information useful for routing while discarding potentially stale information and an adaptive cache can often outperform a statically parameterized cache.

Analysis of routing security-energy trade-offs in wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: A secure routing protocol for large scale WSNs, called Secure and Energy Efficient Protocol (SEEP) is presented and performance evaluation of the proposed protocol show that SEEP can achieve a better level of security with less computational and communication overhead when compared to other schemes.

Trust Management in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: This chapter considers the rationale for trust management systems by demonstrating the shortcomings of secure routing protocols and incentive-based systems, and analyzes and compares recently proposed and few well-reviewed trust management based models for MANET.

A Robust and Efficient Node Authentication Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a robust and efficient key exchange protocol for nodes authentication in a MANET based on multi-path communication is presented, which is effective even in presence of large fraction of malicious nodes in the network.

Interactive two-channel message authentication based on Interactive-Collision Resistant hash functions
TL;DR: This work proposes an Interactive Message Authentication Protocol using two channels; an insecure broadband channel and an authenticated narrow-band channel, based on the computational assumption that ICR hash functions exist, which performs better than message authentication protocols that are based on computational assumptions.

TL;DR: The author identifies the integrity problems posed by a secure military computer utility and integrity policies addressing these problems are developed and their effectiveness evaluated.
Tamper resistance: a cautionary note
Ross Anderson,Markus G. Kuhn +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that trusting tamper resistance is problematic; smartcards are broken routinely, and even a device that was described by a government signals agency as 'the most secure processor generally available' turns out to be vulnerable.

Low cost attacks on tamper resistant devices
Ross Anderson,Markus G. Kuhn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a number of attacks that can be mounted by opponents with much shallower pockets, three of them involve special (but low cost) equipment: differential fault analysis, chip rewriting, and memory remanence.
