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

Security Architecture for Mobile Adhoc Networks
Banita Chadha,B Student +1 more
TL;DR: The two main conclusions of the research are that authentication issues that have to be taken into account with a global vision at the first stage of any network formation, and that a good cooperative enforcement scheme seems to be the best solution to the selshness problem.

An adaptive threat model for security ceremonies
Jean Everson Martina,Eduardo dos Santos,Marcelo Carlomagno Carlos,Geraint Price,Ricardo Felipe Custódio +4 more
TL;DR: It is discussed that even though Dolev–Yao’s threat model can represent the most powerful attacker possible in a ceremony, the attacker in this model is not realistic in certain scenarios, especially those related to human peers.

Authentication and Key Exchange in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: This thesis presents the first fully selforganized key revocation scheme for MANETs that does not require any trusted third party in the network and is based on propagated accusations and once the number of received accusations against a node.

The prototype embedded network (PEN)
TL;DR: In this article, a prototype low-power wireless link designed for embedding into everyday objects is described, and protocols for discovery and long-term rendezvous are discussed, contrasting their approach with master-based approaches.

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.
