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.

Constant-Round Authenticated Group Key Exchange for Dynamic Groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an efficient provably secure authenticated group key exchange (AGKE) scheme with constant round, where each user executes three modular exponentiations and at most O(n) XOR operations.

HAPADEP: Human-Assisted Pure Audio Device Pairing

TL;DR: In this article, a human-assisted pure audio device pairing (HAPADEP) is proposed to counter Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) attacks in such a setting.

Highly reliable trust establishment scheme in ad hoc networks

TL;DR: A probabilistic solution based on distributed trust model is proposed that is highly resilient to dynamic membership changing and scales well, and a secret dealer is introduced only in the system bootstrapping phase to complement the assumption in trust initialization.

SVM-based intrusion detection system for wireless ad hoc networks

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the network layer security issues and proposes a practical support vector machine (SVM) based intrusion detection system that has been verified by extensive simulation results.

On connectivity in ad hoc networks under jamming using directional antennas and mobility

TL;DR: It is shown that using sectored antennas can maintain connectivity in the presence of a significantly higher number of jammers at the expense of higher average number of hops, and that mobility allows further resiliency to jamming.

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

K. J. Biba
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

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

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

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.
