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

Detection and handling of MAC layer misbehavior in wireless networks
Pradeep Kyasanur,Nitin H. Vaidya +1 more
TL;DR: Modifications to the IEEE 802.11 protocol are presented to simplify detection of selfish hosts that fail to adhere to the MAC protocol and a correction scheme for penalizing selfish misbehavior is presented.

Jamming-resistant Key Establishment using Uncoordinated Frequency Hopping
TL;DR: This work proposes an uncoordinated frequency hopping (UFH) scheme that breaks this dependency and enables key establishment in the presence of a communication jammer and shows its feasibility, both in terms of execution time and resource requirements.

Secure pebblenets
TL;DR: This work proposes a key management scheme to periodically update the symmetric keys used by all pebbles, combining mobility-adaptive clustering and an effective probabilistic selection of the key-generating node, which meets the requirements of efficiency, scalability and security needed for the survivability of networks of pebble (pebblenets).

Mobility helps security in ad hoc networks
TL;DR: It is shown that node mobility can be useful to provide security in ad hoc networks and that the time necessary to set up the security associations is strongly influenced by several factors, including the size of the deployment area, the mobility patterns, and the number of friends.

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.
