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

Spontaneous networks: Trust in a world of equals
R.L. Gilaberte,L.P. Herrero +1 more
TL;DR: This work tries to extrapolate network behaviour from human behaviour, where trust on both sides is very important when the authors want to obtain reliable data and protect their own information.

A Trust Based Technique to Isolate Non-forwarding Nodes in DSR Basedmobile Adhoc Networks
N. Bhalaji,A. Shanmugam +1 more
TL;DR: In this manuscript the nodes which originate the passive or selfish attacks are identified and isolated from the routing and data forwarding function and the proposed scheme outscores the traditional DSR in all metrics.

Key generation method and device
Tieyan Li,Qinqin Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a key generation method and device, relating to the field of communication security, and used to solve a problem that a cost of generating a key by using a digital certificate is too high when access control is performed on a smart device and secure communication is performed between devices.

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.
