Low-Cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: An Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup specify mechanisms for exchanging authentication credentials in wireless networks. Both Simple Pairing and Protected Setup support multiple setup mechanisms, which increases security risks and hurts the user experience. To improve the security and usability of these specifications, we suggest defining a common baseline for hardware features and a consistent, interoperable user experience across devices.

Multi-Model Security Associations in Personal Networks
The first connection between unknown devices is one of the most security critical phases of communication in personal networks. Many existing security configuration mechanisms have been vulnerable against passive eavesdropping or active man-in-the-middle attacks or have been ignored by users as too cumbersome. Consequently, attackers have been able to gain access to users’ network and devices. ...

متن کاملUsing Model-Checking to Reveal a Vulnerability of Tamper-Evident Pairing
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is an attempt to simplify configuration of security settings for Wi-Fi networks. It offers, among other methods, Push-Button Configuration (PBC) for devices with a limited userinterface. There are however some security issues in PBC. A solution to these issues was proposed in the form of Tamper-Evident Pairing (TEP). TEP is based on the Tamper-Evident Announcement (TEA), i...
