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

Algorithm for Robust Routing in Volatile Environments
TL;DR: This work proposes ARRIVE, a probabilistic routing algorithm that leverages the high node density and the broadcast medium found in sensor networks to achieve routing robust to both link failures and patterned node fail- ures without resorting to periodic flooding of the network.
Exploiting Context Histories in Setting up an e-Home
TL;DR: This paper attempts to draw various solutions to turning a home into a seamlessly integrated, yet secure environment, without excessive cost, by using embedded XML web services and the human interaction context history to determine how the different devices should interact.

An efficient and attack-resistant key agreement scheme for secure group communications in mobile ad-hoc networks
TL;DR: A AUTH-CRTDH, an efficient key agreement scheme with authentication capability for SGC over MANETs, is proposed and has many desirable features such as contributory and efficient computation of group key, uniform work load for all members, few rounds of rekeying, and efficient support for user dynamics.

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.
