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

Survey on sybil attack defense mechanisms in wireless ad hoc networks
Amol Vasudeva,Manu Sood +1 more
TL;DR: A survey on the most promising techniques offered thus far to defend the three classes of ad hoc networks, i.e., Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Wireless Mesh Networks, from the Sybil attack is presented.

The Black-Hole Node Attack in MANET
Nidhi Sharma,Amit Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: Computer simulation shows that in comparison to the original ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing scheme, the second solution can verify 75% to 98% of the route to the destination depending on the pause time at a minimum cost of the delay in the networks.

A security design for a general purpose, self-organizing, multihop ad hoc wireless network
Thomas S. Messerges,Johnas I. Cukier,Tom A. M. Kevenaar,Larry C. Puhl,René Struik,Ed Callaway +5 more
TL;DR: The design employs elliptic-curve cryptography and the AES block cipher to supply message integrity and encryption services, key-establishment protocols, and a large set of extended security services, while at the same time meeting the low implementation cost, low power, and high flexibility requirements of ad hoc wireless networks.

Survey and Systematization of Secure Device Pairing
TL;DR: A system model and consistent terminology for SDP schemes are built on the foundation of this survey, which are used to classify existing S DP schemes into a taxonomy that enables their meaningful comparison and analysis, and reveal common systemic security weaknesses among the surveyed schemes.

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.
