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.

Toward secure and scalable time synchronization in ad hoc networks

TL;DR: The results show that SSTSP can synchronize single-hop networks with the maximum synchronization error under 20μs and MSTSP 55-85μs for multi-Hop networks, which are, to the best of the knowledge, among the best results of currently proposed solutions forsingle-hop and multi-hop ad hoc networks.

Toward Trusted Sharing of Network Packet Traces Using Anonymization: Single-Field Privacy/Analysis Tradeoffs

TL;DR: This is the first paper to provide empirical measurements to characterize the privacy/analysis tradeoff for an enterprise dataset and shows two fields have a zero sum tradeoff and eight have a more complex tradeoff in which both privacy and analysis can both be simultaneously accomplished.

A secure group key management scheme in ad hoc networks

TL;DR: Simulation results demonstrate that DVGKM is better than other algorithms and protocols in the group rekeying success rate and can be robust in a hostile environment where the topologic structure of network is continually changed.

Using a two-timer scheme to detect selfish nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks

TL;DR: A novel hardware assisted scheme which can detect one kind of misbehavior: selfish nodes is proposed which consists of two timers that help to detect 80% or more selfish nodes with a probability of nearly 90%.

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.
