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

Cross-layer design for energy-efficient secure multicast communications in ad hoc networks
Loukas Lazos,Radha Poovendran +1 more
TL;DR: An analytical formulation of the energy expenditure associated with the communication overhead of key management and its dependence on the network topology and the key distribution method is presented and a suboptimal, cross-layer, low-complexity algorithm is proposed for energy efficient key distribution.

Identification of malicious nodes in an AODV pure ad hoc network through guard nodes
Imran Raza,Syed Asad Hussain +1 more
TL;DR: Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves performance of AODV by identifying and removing malicious nodes and performance of the scheme has been evaluated for three different types of malicious attacks.

Dave Singelée,Benoît Latré,Bart Braem,Michaël Peeters,Marijke De Soete,Peter De Cleyn,Bart Preneel,Ingrid Moerman,Chris Blondia +8 more
TL;DR: The CICADA-S protocol is the first integrated solution that copes with threats that occur in this mobile medical monitoring scenario and it is shown that the integration of key management and secure, privacy preserving communication techniques within the CicADA- S protocol has low impact on the power consumption and throughput.

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.
