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

Key Agreement in Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks
TL;DR: This paper proposes three techniques for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks based on visual comparison of short strings, the second on distance bounding, and the third on integrity codes; in each case the users do not need to enter any password or other data, nor do they need physical or infrared connectivity between their devices.

Anti-jamming broadcast communication using uncoordinated spread spectrum techniques
TL;DR: This work proposes uncoordinated spread spectrum techniques that enable anti-jamming broadcast communication without shared secrets, and presents two instances (Uncoordinated FH and Uncoordinated DSSS) and analyzes differences in their performance as well as their combination.

Secure device pairing based on a visual channel
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how strong mutual authentication can be achieved even with a unidirectional visual channel, without having to switch device roles, by adopting recently proposed improved pairing protocols.
Simulation-based analysis of security exposures in mobile ad hoc networks
TL;DR: A simulation study that identifies security issues that are specific to MANET and that illustrates the effects of those threats on network performance when the DSR routing protocol is used, showing that security issues have to be taken into account at the early stages of a routing protocol design.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A cluster-based security architecture for ad hoc networks
TL;DR: This work proposes and evaluates a security concept based on a distributed certification facility that divides a network into clusters and allows new nodes to participate in the network as guests but can only become full members with a network-signed certificate after their authenticity has been warranted by some other members.

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.
