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

Blink 'Em All: Scalable, User-Friendly and Secure Initialization of Wireless Sensor Nodes
Nitesh Saxena,Md. Borhan Uddin +1 more
TL;DR: A novel method for secure sensor node initialization based on a visual out-of-band channel that utilizes minimal output interface in the form of LED(s) already available on most off-the-shelf sensor motes is proposed, which requires only a little extra cost, is efficient and reasonably scalable.
Application of Dominating Sets in Wireless Sensor Networks
TL;DR: Topology control and virtual backbone based on dominating sets for wireless sensor networks is studied and the performance evaluation of connected dominating set construction algorithms is dealt with.
Human-centred computer security
TL;DR: A protocol which achieves a high degree of security based on a combination of humanmediated communication and an ordinary Dolev-Yao communication medium is proposed, which resists combinatorial attacks on the hash values that have to be compared by human users, seemingly optimising the amount of security they can achieve for a given amount of work.

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.
