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

Simulation and Evaluation of Security and Intrusion Detection in IEEE 802.15.4 Network
TL;DR: A secure data exchange protocol including a key exchange mechanism based on the ZigBee specification and built on top of IEEE 802.15.4 link layer is described.
FIDIS of Identity in the Information Society
Harald Zwingelberg,Bernhard Anrig,Maren Ragusa,Dionysios S. Demetis,Emmanuel Benoist,Eric Dubuis,Rolf Haenni,Thierry Nabeth +7 more
TL;DR: The FIDIS Network of Excellence 7.2 report as discussed by the authors examines how different approaches to profiling are taken, reviewing along the way some of the different technology contexts in which it can be used.
Ho-Po Key: Leveraging Physical Constraints on Human Motion to Authentically Exchange Information in a Group (CMU-CyLab-11-004)
Ghita Mezzour,Ahren Studer,Michael W. Farb,Jason Lee,Jonathan M. McCune,Hsu-Chun Hsiao,Adrian Perrig +6 more
TL;DR: This paper presents HoPo Key, a new protocol for the authentic exchange of information within a physically collocated group of people and demonstrates that the verification within the ring is surprisingly easy and fast via user-studies.

ALGSICS: combining physics and cryptography to enhance security and privacy in RFID systems
Neil C. Bird,Claudine V. Conrado,Jorge Guajardo,Stefan Maubach,Geert-Jan Schrijen,Boris Skoric,Anton M. H. Tombeur,Peter Thueringer,Pim Tuyls +8 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces several new mechanisms that are cheap to implement or integrate into RFID tags and that at the same time enhance their security and privacy properties and introduces the idea of a "sticky tag," which can be used to re-enable a disabled tag whenever the user considers it to be safe.

An efficient authentication and simplified certificate status management for personal area networks
Chul Sur,Kyung Hyune Rhee +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes an efficient authentication protocol that eliminates the traditional public key operations on mobile devices without any assistance of a signature server and provides a simplified procedure for certificate status management to alleviate communication and computational costs onMobile devices in the personal area network.

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.
