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

Secure ad hoc trust initialization and key management in wireless body area networks
TL;DR: This article proposes group device pairing (GDP), a user-aided multi-party authenticated key agreement protocol that supports fast batch deployment, addition and revocation of sensor devices, does not rely on any additional hardware device, and is mostly based on symmetric key cryptography.

LHAP: a lightweight hop-by-hop authentication protocol for ad-hoc networks
TL;DR: This paper presents LHAP a scalable and light-weight authentication protocol for ad hoc networks based on hop-by-hop authentication for verifying the authenticity of all the packets transmitted in the network and one-way key chain and TESLA for packet authentication and for reducing the overhead for establishing trust among nodes.

High-Power proxies for enhancing RFID privacy and utility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new design principle for a personal RFID-privacy device, referred to as a RFID Enhancer Proxy (REP), which assumes the identities of tags and simulates them by proxy.

Dirk Balfanz,Teresa F. Lunt,Diana K. Smetters,Ken Conley,Paul J. Stewart,Steve B. Cousins,Bryan A. Pendleton +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for sharing files securely includes server software on a first device configured to communicate with server software operating on one or more other preauthorized devices, such as a second device.
Patent
Method and system to maintain application data secure and authentication token for use therein
Brian D. Noble,Mark D. Corner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method and system to maintain application data secure and authentication token for use therein. Butler et al. use transient authentication, in which a small hardware token continuously authenticates the user's presence over a short-range, wireless link.

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.
