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

Validating and Securing Spontaneous Associations between Wireless Devices
Tim Kindberg,Kan Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose protocols to thwart spoofing and replay attacks by physically validating the two devices in a wireless association and in so doing, exchanging a shared session key between them for subsequent secure communication.
ARRIVE: Algorithm for Robust Routing in Volatile Environments
TL;DR: ARRIVE is a probabilistic algorithm that leverages the high node density and the inherent broadcast medium found in sensor networks to achieve routing robust to both link failures and patterned node failures without resorting to periodic flooding of the network.

SPATE: small-group PKI-less authenticated trust establishment
Yue-Hsun Lin,Ahren Studer,Hsu-Chin Hsiao,Jonathan M. McCune,King-Hang Wang,Maxwell Krohn,Phen-Lan Lin,Adrian Perrig,Hung-Min Sun,Bo-Yin Yang +9 more
TL;DR: The implementation of SPATE on Nokia N70 smartphones allows users to establish trust in small groups of up to eight users in less than one minute, and the example SPATE applications provide increased security with little overhead noticeable to users once keys are established.

Deep Learning with Dense Random Neural Network for Detecting Attacks against IoT-connected Home Environments
TL;DR: Empirical validation results on packet captures in which attacks were inserted show that the Dense RNN correctly detects attacks.

System and method for providing secure resource management
Diana K. Smetters,Warren K. Edwards,Dirk Balfanz,Hao Chi Wong,Mark W. Newman,Jana Z. Sedivy,Smith Trevor F,Shahram Izadi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a secure resource management system that includes a first device that creates a secure, shared resource space and a corresponding root certificate for the shared space, and the first device associates one or more resources that it can access with the shared spaces.

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.
