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

Enlighten me! secure key assignment in wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: This paper presents a novel solution for a secure key assignment in wireless sensor networks that can be used during the initial configuration of nodes or for an ad-hoc key assignment by mobile nodes that fulfills the relevant security requirements while at the same time being cost effective and easy to use.

Mobile ad hoc network security - a taxonomy
TL;DR: The prevailing mobile ad hoc network security threats and the existing solution schemes are surveyed and a need to develop algorithms and protocols for a securedad hoc network infrastructure is developed.

Spontnet: experiences in configuring and securing small ad hoc networks
TL;DR: Spontnet, the prototype implementation of a simple ad hoc network configuration utility, is described, which allows users to distribute a group session key without previous shared context and to establish shared namespace.

Capacitive Touch Communication: A Technique to Input Data through Devices' Touch Screen
Tam Vu,Akash Baid,Simon Gao,Marco Gruteser,Richard Howard,Janne Lindqvist,Predrag Spasojevic,Jeffrey S. Walling +7 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a capacitive communication method through which a device can recognize who is interacting with it, and exploits the capacitive touchscreens, which are now used in laptops, phones, and tablets, as a signal receiver.

New Directions in Cryptography
TL;DR: This paper suggests ways to solve currently open problems in cryptography, and discusses how the theories of communication and computation are beginning to provide the tools to solve cryptographic problems of long standing.
Integrity Considerations for Secure Computer Systems
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.
