Optimal Proximity Proofs Revisited

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

Distance bounding protocols become important since wireless technologies become more and more common. Therefore, the security of the distance bounding protocol should be carefully analyzed. However, most of the protocols are not secure or their security is ...

Location leakage in distance bounding: Why location privacy does not work

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

In many cases, we can only have access to a service by proving we are sufficiently close to a particular location (e.g. in automobile or building access control). In these cases, proximity can be guaranteed through signal attenuation. However, by using add ...

Exchanging Pairwise Secrets Efficiently

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Iris Safaka

We consider the problem where a group of wireless nodes, connected to the same broadcast domain, want to create pairwise secrets, in the presence of an adversary Eve, who tries to listen in and steal these secrets. Existing solutions assume that Eve cannot ...

Creating Secrets out of Erasures

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Panagiotis Kostopoulos

Current security systems often rely on the adversary's computational limitations. Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind of security, which relies on the adversary's limited network presence (i.e., that the adversary ca ...

Building Wireless Network Coding Protocols

Lorenzo Keller

This work studies how to build wireless network protocols that achieve better reliability, lower delay and higher throughput than existing alternatives by using network coding and by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless channel. In the first par ...

EPFL2012

In this paper, we show that many formal and informal security results on distance-bounding (DB) protocols are incorrect/incomplete. We identify that this inadequacy stems from the fact that the pseudorandom function (PRF) assumption alone, invoked in many ...

The Bussard-Bagga and Other Distance-Bounding Protocols under Attacks

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa, Asli Bay, Iosif-Daniel Spulber

The communication between an honest prover and an honest verifier can be intercepted by a malicious man-in-the-middle (MiM), without the legitimate interlocutors noticing the intrusion. The attacker can simply relay messages from one party to another, even ...

Distance Bounding with IEEE 802.15.4a: Attacks and Countermeasures

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband, in particular the recent standard IEEE 802.15.4a, is a primary candidate for implementing distance bounding protocols, thanks to its ability to perform accurate indoor ranging. Distance bounding protocols allow two wireless de ...

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2011

This thesis addresses the security of two fundamental elements of wireless networking: neighbor discovery and ranging. Neighbor discovery consists in discovering devices available for direct communication or in physical proximity. Ranging, or distance boun ...

Secure key exchange in wireless networks

Christina Fragouli, László Czap

We investigate the problem of exchanging a se- cret key within a group of wireless devices. In particular, we are interested in information theoretically secure key exchange schemes that enable honest nodes of a multi-hop network to establish a secret grou ...
