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.

Selfish MAC layer misbehavior in wireless networks

TL;DR: Modifications to the IEEE 802.11 protocol are presented to simplify detection of selfish hosts and a penalty scheme for punishing selfish misbehavior is presented, indicating that detection and penalty schemes are successful in handling MAC layer misbehavior.

Security and Privacy in Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication: A Review

TL;DR: This paper presents an extensive review of the state-of-the-art solutions for enhancing security and privacy in D2D communication and identifies lessons to be learned from existing studies and derive a set of “best practices.”

Cross-feature analysis for detecting ad-hoc routing anomalies

TL;DR: A new data mining method is introduced that performs "cross-feature analysis" to capture the inter-feature correlation patterns in normal traffic to detect deviation (or anomalies) caused by attacks in MANET.

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

K. J. Biba
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

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

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

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.
