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 Study of Routing Protocols for MANETs
TL;DR: Routing in MANETs is explained and the unicast routing schemes to send a packet from a single source to a single destination are surveyed.
Book Chapter
Secure Device Association: Trends and Issues
TL;DR: This chapter surveys the security challenges and some of these protocols, which use various forms of out-of-band exchange to form an association.
Dissertation
Authorization management for pervasive computing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a novel approach to solve the problem of homonymity in homonymization, i.e., homonymonymity-based homonymisation.

Defending Battery Exhaustion Attacks on Mobile Systems
TL;DR: A method designed to detect the defective process and to self-correct the abnormality by stopping or delaying the suspicious actions is introduced and autonomously protects the expected battery lifespan during a battery exhaustion attack without shutting down operation of falsely detected programs.
Journal Article
Link-layer jamming attacks on S-MAC
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that link-layer jamming is a more attractive option to attackers than radio jamming, and they investigate some jamming attacks on S-MAC, the level of effectiveness and efficiency the attacks can potentially achieve, and a countermeasure that can be implemented against one of these attacks.

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.
Journal Article
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.
