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

Statistically Unique and Cryptographically Verifiable (SUCV) Identifiers and Addresses.
TL;DR: Characteristics of Statistic Uniqueness and Cryptographic Verifiability of certain entities, called SUCV Identifiers and Addresses, are used to solve the address ownership problem that hinders mechanisms like Binding Updates in Mobile IPv6.

Secure Device Pairing based on a Visual Channel.
TL;DR: This paper shows how strong mutual authentication can be achieved even with a unidirectional visual channel, without having to switch device roles, even on devices that have very limited displaying capabilities.

Mobile phones as computing devices: the viruses are coming!
TL;DR: This work presents a taxonomy of attacks against mobile phones that shows known as well as potential attacks, and describes viruses, worms, and trojans specifically designed for the mobile environment.

On communication security in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks
TL;DR: The approach is to classify the types of data existing in sensor networks, and identify possible communication security threats according to that classification, and propose a communication security scheme where for each type of data the authors define a corresponding security mechanism.

Spontaneous networking: an application oriented approach to ad hoc networking
TL;DR: This work introduces the notion of a spontaneous network, created when a group of people come together for some collaborative activity and can use the human interactions associated with the activity in order to establish a basic service and security infrastructure.

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.
