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

Security in Ad Hoc Networks: a General Intrusion Detection Architecture Enhancing Trust Based Approaches.
Patrick Albers,Olivier Camp,Jean-Marc Percher,Bernard Jouga,Ludovic Mé,Ricardo Staciarini Puttini +5 more
TL;DR: This paper shows how ad hoc networks can be, to a certain extent, secured using traditional techniques, and examines the different intrusion detection techniques and point out the reasons why they usually cannot be used in an ad hoc context.

Loud and Clear: Human-Verifiable Authentication Based on Audio
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the use of audio for human-assisted authentication of previously unassociated devices and develop and evaluate a system called Loud-and-Clear (L&C) which places very little demand on the human user.

A key predistribution scheme for sensor networks using deployment knowledge
TL;DR: It is shown that the performance (including connectivity, memory usage, and network resilience against node capture) of sensor networks can be substantially improved with the use of the proposed random key predistribution scheme.

Low-Energy Security: Limits and Opportunities in the Internet of Things
TL;DR: Many new "networkable" devices, which constitute the Internet of Things, are low energy and lightweight, making the task of affordably supporting security and privacy quite challenging.

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.
