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

SEAD: secure efficient distance vector routing for mobile wireless ad hoc networks
TL;DR: The Secure Efficient Ad hoc Distance vector routing protocol is designed and evaluated, a secure ad hoc network routing protocol based on the design of the Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector routing protocol (DSDV), which performs well over the range of scenarios, and is robust against multiple uncoordinated attackers creating incorrect routing state in any other node.

A key management scheme for wireless sensor networks using deployment knowledge
TL;DR: It is shown that the performance of sensor networks can be substantially improved with the use of the proposed random key pre-distribution scheme, which exploits deployment knowledge and avoids unnecessary key assignments.

LEAP+: Efficient security mechanisms for large-scale distributed sensor networks
TL;DR: The security of LEAP+ under various attack models is analyzed and it is shown that it is very effective in defending against many sophisticated attacks, such as HELLO flood attacks, node cloning attacks, and wormhole attacks.

Routing security in wireless ad hoc networks
TL;DR: This article studies the routing security issues of MANETs, and analyzes in detail one type of attack-the "black hole" problem-that can easily be employed against the MANets, and proposes a solution for the black hole problem for ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocol.

A survey of security issues in wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: This article outlines the constraints, security requirements, and attacks with their corresponding countermeasures in WSNs, and presents a holistic view of security issues, classified into five categories: cryptography, key management, secure routing, secure data aggregation, and intrusion detection.

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: 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.
