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

On the (im)possibility of perennial message recognition protocols without public-key cryptography
TL;DR: In the symbolic model of cryptography, perennial MRPs cannot be built using just hash functions and XORing, and this result also covers other symmetric primitives, e.g. encryption.

Exclusivity, Externalities & Easements: Dynamic Spectrum Access and Coasean Bargaining
Tim Forde,Linda Doyle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility of realising Coasean bargains to remove the presence of externalities in a libertarian system of exclusive spectrum rights through the creation of various economically motivated easements.

Caching alternatives for a MANET-oriented OCSP scheme
TL;DR: C caching issues and time parameters concerning ADOPT are discussed and various alternatives that fit into different scenarios that can efficiently provide up-to-date certificate status information are proposed.

A framework for continuous authentication in ubiquitous environments
TL;DR: This paper presents use cases in which it is essential to authenticate a user continuously to guarantee secured data collection service and proposes a continuous authentication framework in ubiquitous environments where user-to-device authentication is one- to-many during a session.
Dissertation
Authentication protocols in pervasive computing
TL;DR: This thesis presents several new protocols of this type, designed to optimise the work required of humans to achieve a given level of security, and discovers that the design of these protocols is influenced by several principles, including the ideas of commitment without knowledge and separation of security concerns.

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.
