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

Symmetric key management for mobile ad hoc networks using novel secure and authenticated key distribution protocol-revised
A. Jegatheesan,D. Manimegalai +1 more
TL;DR: A novel symmetric key sharing method is proposed which emphasises the efficient and secure key sharing and key updates and protects the efficiency aspects.
Distributed Trust Establishment in MANET’s: Swarm Intelligence
TL;DR: It is argued that peer-to-peer networks are especially suitable to solve the problems of generation, distribution, and discovery of trust evidence in mobile ad-hoc networks.
Smart Authentication and Authorization in Heterogeneous Networked World
TL;DR: This thesis explores existing authentication and authorizations solutions, designs and implements a fine-grained and context-based reusable security model, which enables development of self-configuring and adaptive authorization solutions.

Approaches for Ensuring Security and Privacy in Unplanned Ubiquitous Computing Interactions
TL;DR: This paper identifies device theft as a problem exacerbated by mobile and ubiquitous computing and emphasizes device-based approaches towards handling security and privacy, broadly classifying them into three categories which, when taken collectively, form a three-layer defense for devices.

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.
