“…The main goal of the research community working on the secure device pairing issue has been to provide mechanisms that give assurance of the identity of the devices participating in the pairing process and to secure them from being victims of eavesdropping attacks, such as MiTM attack. Achieving this goal is a challenging problem from both the security and the usability points of view [32][33]. Consequently, Malkani et.…”

“…The proposed system integrates device discovery, several pairing schemes and a protocol selection mechanism into a single model that facilitates association of any pair of devices in a wide range of scenarios by using the devices' existing capabilities and user preferences, and also assists the user to select an appropriate pairing protocol and relieves him/her from choosing between more than two dozen of pairing schemes. The interested readers can find the detailed analysis of these existing schemes in [32][33] and the detailed system architecture of the proposed system in [1]. The focus of this paper is the usability study of eight pairing schemes as well as the proposed system, which integrates them.…”

Ad-hoc interactions between devices over wireless networks present a security problem: the generation of shared secrets to initialize secure communication over a medium that is inherently vulnerable to various attacks. However, these scenarios can also build on physical security of spaces by using protocols in which users visibly demonstrate their presence to generate an association. As a consequence, secure device pairing has received significant attention. A plethora of schemes and protocols have been proposed, which use various forms of out-of-band exchange to form an association between two devices. These protocols and schemes have different strengths and weaknesses often in hardware requirements, strength against various attacks or usability in particula view, the problem then becomes which to choose or which is the best possible scheme in a particular scenario. This problem could be relieved by automation. We advocate that the integration of a discovery mechanism, several pairing schemes and a selection protocol into a single system is more efficient for users. In this paper, we present such a system along with its implementation details.

Wireless mesh networks provide long‐distance wireless network connectivity over heterogeneous devices for greater scalability and availability. However, protecting legitimate long‐distance wireless links from wormhole attacks is an important yet challenging security issue in wireless mesh networks. In this paper, we propose a reputation‐based cross‐layer intrusion detection system to effectively detect various wormhole attacks. The proposed system analyses the behaviours of the routing paths in wireless mesh networks to correctly isolate the malicious wormhole paths from legitimate long‐distance wireless links. It uses reputation and cross‐layer parameters for comprehensive ability to isolate the wormhole attacks in routing paths. This isolation ensures full utilisation of legitimate long‐distance wireless links in wireless mesh networks, which is not possible with the existing wormhole attack detection approaches. Experimental results show that the proposed system increases the detection rate, decreases the false alarm rate, and secures legitimate long‐distance wireless links in wireless mesh networks.
