Mobile devices have shown to be very useful during and post disaster. If the communication infrastructure breaks down, however, they become almost useless as most services rely on Internet connectivity. Building post-disaster networks based…
We propose Breath to Pair (B2P), a protocol for pairing and shared-key generation for wearable devices that leverages the wearer's respiration activity to ensure that the devices are part of the same body-area network. We assume that the…
This paper presents a new approach for hyper-local data sharing and delivery on the base of discoverable Bluetooth nodes. Our approach allows customers to associate user-defined data with network nodes and use a special mobile application…
The majority of available wearable devices require communication with Internet servers for data analysis and storage, and rely on a paired smartphone to enable secure communication. However, wearable devices are mostly equipped with WiFi…
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that communicate with each other through the internet and provides intelligence to industry and people. These devices are running in potentially hostile environments, so the need for security…
Bluetooth is a promising short-range radio network technology. We present a low cost and easily deployed, scalable infrastructure for indoor location-based computing of mobile devices based on Bluetooth technology. The system consists of 2…
Network traffic inspection, including TLS traffic, in enterprise environments is widely practiced. Reasons for doing so are primarily related to improving enterprise security (e.g., malware detection) and meeting legal requirements. To…
Internet of Things means connecting different devices through the Internet. The Internet of things enables humans to remotely manage and control the objects they use with the Internet infrastructure. After the advent of the Internet of…
The Internet of Things helps to have every individual interconnected with their surroundings and to interact with them through smart devices. In recent years, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology has become very popular in smart…
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has become the primary transmission media due to its extremely low energy consumption, good network scope, and data transfer speed for the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart wearable devices. With the exponential…
Consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly common, from smart speakers to security cameras, in homes. Along with their benefits come potential privacy and security threats. To limit these threats a number of commercial…
Smart toys have captured an increasing share of the toy market, and are growing ubiquitous in households with children. Smart toys are a subset of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, containing sensors, actuators, and/or artificial…
Smart home IoT systems rely on authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized entities can control devices and access sensitive functionality. In practice, these mechanisms must balance security with usability, often favoring…
Although smartcards are widely used, secure smartcard interoperability has remained a significant challenge. Usually each manufacturer provides a closed environment for their smartcard based applications including the microchip, associated…
The Internet of Things (IoT) expansion has brought a new era of connected devices, including wearable devices like smartwatches and medical monitors, that are becoming integral parts of our daily lives. These devices not only offer…
Secure pairing is essential for trustworthy deployment and operation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, traditional pairing methods are unsuitable due to the lack of user interfaces such as keyboards. Proximity-based approaches…
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has brought in new challenges in, device identification --what the device is, and, authentication --is the device the one it claims to be. Traditionally, the authentication problem is solved by means of a…
Despite the surging development and utilization of IoT devices, the security of IoT devices is still in infancy. The security pitfalls of IoT devices have made it easy for hackers to take over IoT devices and use them for malicious…
Smart speakers are gaining popularity. However, such devices can put the user's privacy at risk whenever hot-words are misinterpreted and voice data is recorded without the user's consent. To mitigate such risks, smart speakers provide…
This work presents a mobile sign-on scheme, which utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy beacons for location awareness and Attribute-Based Encryption for expressive, broadcast-style key exchange. Bluetooth Low Energy beacons broadcast encrypted…
