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

A practical study on security of agent-based ubiquitous computing
TL;DR: The rationale study shows that security mechanism built in the form of agent-based architecture at the bottom of application level is the desirable solution.

Efficient Key Management and Distribution for MANET
J. Biswas,S. K. Nandy +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed key management scheme has low communication overhead for rekeying and improves the reliability of key distribution, and uses overlay approach for key distribution and the objective is to keep communication overhead low for key management and distribution.
Peer trust in mobile ad-hoc communities
Sye Loong Keoh,Emil Lupu +1 more
TL;DR: The conditions under which peer trust can be used to perform authentication as well as to assist the enforcement of policies, in particular the URA policies are described.

A Multi-Parameter Trust Framework for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: This chapter presents a novel trust model called Multi-Parameter Trust Framework for Mobile ad hoc networks (MTFM), which uses its use of multiple rather than a single parameter to decide the resulting trust value, applying Grey theory.

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: 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.
