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

Identity and Anonymity in Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: The solutions proposed in this dissertation are important steps towards the achievement of better anonymous communications in ad hoc networks andplement other mechanisms required to prevent leaks of personal data.

Secure device pairing using audio
William Claycomb,Dongwan Shin +1 more
TL;DR: A solution for secure device pairing using audio, called UbiSound, which only requires a single audio transmission to authenticate both devices, is described, and how the solution is resistant to a number of attacks is discussed.

SKiMPy: a simple key management protocol for MANETs in emergency and rescue operations
TL;DR: SKiMPy allows devices carried by the rescue personnel to agree on a symmetric shared key, used primarily to establish a protected network infrastructure, and can be used to ensure confidentiality of the data as well.

Embedding distance bounding protocols within intuitive interactions
Laurent Bussard,Yves Roudier +1 more
TL;DR: A drag-and-drop interaction paradigm is described that enables strong authentication by embedding such a protocol within personal authentication tokens and can be used as the basis for performing user-friendly pervasive multi-party secure interactions.

Trust Extension as a Mechanism for Secure Code Execution on Commodity Computers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a bootstrapping trust from one device or service to another and give an overview of how the subsequent chapters fit together, and show how to extend trust in this environment to network elements in a secure and efficient manner.

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.
