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

ARPD: Asynchronous random key predistribution in the LEAP framework for Wireless Sensor Networks
TL;DR: This work presents a Kj-less scheme for key predistribution that proves to perform better in medium sized networks than previous proposals, is resilient against node capture attacks and allows node to node authentication, and is resistant against commonly known attacks.

Connectivity augmentation in tactical mobile ad hoc networks
TL;DR: An authentication and negotiation protocol is proposed to securely request information and services from UAV resources, especially UAVs, and the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed protocols is evaluated in an simulated small-unit tactical network operating in an urban environment.

Secure SMS based automatic device pairing approach for mobile phones
TL;DR: The use of Out Of Band (OOB) channel for key exchange is proposed and the use of security strengths of Global System for Mobiles (GSM) to securely communicate the encryption keys between the mobile devices, even if the users are not in the visibility range of each other.

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.
