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

An ant colony optimization approach for reputation and quality-of-service-based security in wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: A protocol, quality-based distance vector routing (QDV), is proposed for securing WSN using concepts based on Ant colony optimization ACO, and a method to achieve “equilibrium” where the node is able to guarantee that its neighbors are secure is presented.

Evolutionary computation techniques for intrusion detection in mobile ad hoc networks
Sevil Sen,John A. Clark +1 more
TL;DR: This paper explores the use of evolutionary computation techniques, particularly genetic programming and grammatical evolution, to evolve intrusion detection programs for such challenging environments and analyses the power consumption of evolved programs to discover optimal trade-offs between intrusion detection ability and power consumption.

Modeling adaptive node capture attacks in multi-hop wireless networks
Patrick Tague,Radha Poovendran +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that probabilistic heuristic attacks can be performed effectively even under storage randomization, and under what conditions privacy-preserving key establishment protocols can help to prevent minimum cost node capture attacks.

Method, apparatus, and program product for automatically provisioning secure network elements
Dirk Balfanz,Diana K. Smetters,Paul J. Stewart,Glenn E. Durfee,Rebecca E. Grinter,Hao-Chi Wong +5 more
TL;DR: An instant PKI as discussed by the authors allows layman computer users to simply create, provision, and maintain secured infrastructure, which can be used in a wide variety of applications including wired and wireless networks, secure sensor networks, emergency alert networks, as well as simply and automatically provisioning network devices whether secure or not.

End-to-end security for sleepy smart object networks
TL;DR: A new secure and energy-efficient communication model for the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), a light-weight communication protocol designed for smart object networks, and shows that asymmetric public-key cryptography can be implemented on small 8-bit microcontrollers without modifying the underlying cryptographic algorithms using public libraries.

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.
