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

Analyzing security of Authenticated Routing Protocol (ARAN)
TL;DR: The security aspects of one commonly used secure routing protocol ARAN are analyzed, which shows that on demand routing protocol often have low overhead and faster reaction time than other type of routing based on periodic protocol.

Anti-theft Protection: Electronic Immobilizers
TL;DR: The automotive industry has been developing electronic immobilizers to reduce the number of car thefts since the mid-1990s as mentioned in this paper, but there is not much information on the current solutions in the public domain, and the annual number of stolen cars still causes a significant loss.

Mobile secret key distribution with network coding
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of secret key distribution in a sensor network with multiple scattered sensor nodes and a mobile device that can be used to bootstrap the network, and proposes a practical scheme that relies on network coding to provide a robust and low-complexity solution.

An overview of anonymous communications in mobile ad hoc networks
TL;DR: This paper reviews the most relevant anonymity studies in the literature, starting with an analysis of the proposals for wired networks, and then moving on to MANET environments, and presents a taxonomy to differentiate proposals according to the degree of anonymity offered.

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.
