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

Methods and a device for associating a first device with a second device
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for associating a first (110, 120, 130, 140, 140) and a second (110; 120; 130; 140) device.

Multi-party encryption (MPE): secure communications in delay tolerant networks
TL;DR: Two security overlay networks capable of delivering messages securely, preventing both eavesdropping and alteration of messages are introduced, reducing the delivery ratio by 63 % in both algorithms.

Practical unconditionally secure two-channel message authentication
TL;DR: A new proof of nonexistence of nontrivial unconditionally secure NIMAPs is provided and a generalization of an unconditional secure 3-round IMAP due to Naor, Segev and Smith is proposed.

Connecting the things to the internet: an evaluation of four configuration strategies for wi-fi devices with minimal user interfaces
TL;DR: The challenge of supporting end-users, especially when they are not technical experts, in connecting new low-power, low-cost Wi-Fi devices with very minimal UIs to an existing, secureWi-Fi infrastructure is addressed.

A sense of security in pervasive computing: is the light on when the refrigerator door is closed?
TL;DR: How existing theoretical contributions on usable security can serve to guide the design of a specific system, taking advantage of pervasive computing technology to offer hotel guests access to their personal, digital materials while in a hotel room, is investigated.

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: A number of attacks that can be mounted by opponents with much shallower pockets, such as smart-cards, are described.

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.
