Design choices for Central Bank Digital Currency

Bryan Alexander Ford, Fan Zhang, Srdan Capkun, Ari Juels

Central banks around the world are exploring and in some cases even piloting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). CBDCs promise to realize a broad range of new capabilities, including direct government disbursements to citizens, frictionless consumer p ...

Security of Distance-Bounding: A Survey

Serge Vaudenay, Gildas Avoine, Martin Benjamin, Srdan Capkun, Aslan Tchamkerten

Distance-bounding protocols allow a verifier to both authenticate a prover and evaluate whether the latter is located in his vicinity. These protocols are of particular interest in contactless systems, e.g. electronic payment or access control systems, whi ...

Pervasive computing systems will likely be deployed in the near future, with the proliferation of wireless devices and the emergence of ad hoc networking as key enablers. Coping with mobility and the volatility of wireless communications in such systems is ...

Wormhole-Based Anti-Jamming Techniques in Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

Due to their very nature, wireless sensor networks are probably the category of wireless networks most vulnerable to “radio channel jamming”-based Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. An adversary can easily mask the events that the sensor network should detec ...

We propose a straightforward technique to provide peer-to-peer security in mobile networks. We show that far from being a hurdle, mobility can be exploited to set up security associations among users. We leverage on the temporary vicinity of users, during ...

Secure Positioning in Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Srdan Capkun

So far, the problem of positioning in wireless networks has been studied mainly in a nonadversarial setting. In this paper, we analyze the resistance of positioning techniques to position and distance spoofing attacks. We propose a mechanism for secure pos ...

Integrity (I) codes: Message Integrity Protection and Authentication over Insecure Channels

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

Inspired by unidirectional error detecting codes that are used in situations where only one kind of bit errors are possible (e.g., it is possible to change a bit “0” into a bit “1”, but not the contrary), we propose integrity codes (I-codes) for a radio co ...

Key Agreement in Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

We present a set of simple techniques for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks. Our approach is based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol, which is known to be vulnerable to the ``man-in-the-middle" attack if the two users ...

Location verification and key management in wireless networks

Srdan Capkun

This thesis is primarily concerned with two security mechanisms for wireless networks: location verification and key management. These mechanisms are potential building blocks in the security architectures of a range of applications. Under location verific ...
