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

Authenticating ad hoc networks by comparison of short digests
Long Nguyen,A. W. Roscoe +1 more
TL;DR: This work shows how to design secure authentication protocols for a non-standard class of scenarios where authentication is not bootstrapped from a PKI, shared secrets or trusted third parties, but rather using a minimum of work by human user(s) implementing the low-band width unspoofable channels between them.
Security Vulnerabilities in Ad Hoc Networks
Po-Wah Yau,Chris J. Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides a detailed classification of threats to a mobile ad hoc network both from external nodes unauthorised to participate in theMobile ad hoc networks, and from internal nodes, which have the authorisation credentials toparticipate in the mobileAd hoc network.

Data security in ad hoc networks using multipath routing
S. Bouam,Jalel Ben-Othman +1 more
TL;DR: This paper exploits the existence of multiple paths between nodes in an ad hoc network to increase the robustness of transmitted data confidentiality and introduces a solution for securing data in ad hoc networks.

Secure Device Pairing: A Survey
TL;DR: This study considered both insider and outsider adversaries and present protocols that provide secure group device pairing for uncompromised nodes even in presence of corrupted group members.

A security architecture for mobile wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a security architecture for self-organizing mobile wireless sensor networks that prevents many attacks these networks are exposed to and limits the security impact of some attacks that cannot be prevented.

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.
