Internet of Things (IoT) devices routinely have security issues, but are the platform designers providing enough support to IoT developers for them to easily implement security features for their platforms? We surveyed the documentation,…
A large majority of cheap Internet of Things (IoT) devices that arrive brand new, and are configured with out-of-the-box settings, are not being properly secured by the manufactures, and are vulnerable to existing malware lurking on the…
Mesh connectivity is attractive for Internet-of- Things (IoT) applications from various perspectives. The recent Bluetooth mesh specification provides a full-stack mesh networking solution, potentially for thousands of nodes. Although…
The number of IoT devices in use is increasing rapidly and so is the number of IoT applications. As in any new technology, the rapid development means rapid increase in security threats and attack surfaces. IoT security has proven to be…
Bluetooth has become critical as many IoT devices are arriving in the market. Most of the current literature focusing on Bluetooth simulation concentrates on the network protocols' performances and completely neglects the privacy protection…
Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) are widely used as authentication method for systems such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point of Sale (PoS). Input devices (PIN pads) usually give the user a feedback sound when a key is…
We present a protocol enabling two legitimate partners sharing an initial secret to mutually authenticate and to exchange an encryption session key. The opponent is an active Man In The Middle (MITM) with unlimited computation and storage…
The synchronisation of Tree Parity Machines (TPMs), has proven to provide a valuable alternative concept for secure symmetric key exchange. Yet, from a cryptographer's point of view, authentication is at least as important as a secure…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly empowering people with an interconnected world of physical objects ranging from smart buildings to portable smart devices such as wearables. With recent advances in mobile sensing, wearables have…
Social networks have an important role in an individual's health, with the propagation of health-related features through a network, and correlations between network structures and symptomatology. Using Bluetooth-enabled smartphones to…
Mediated semi-quantum key distribution involves the use of two end-users who have very restricted, almost classical, capabilities, who wish to establish a shared secret key using the help of a fully-quantum server who may be adversarial. In…
In a multiuser context, the Bluetooth data from the smartphone could give an approximation of the distance between users. Meanwhile, the Wi-Fi data can be used to calculate the user's position directly. However, both the Wi-Fi-based…
With rising concerns about the security of IoT devices, network operators need better ways to handle potential risks. Luckily, IoT devices show consistent patterns in how they communicate. But despite previous efforts, it remains unclear…
Internet of Things (IoT) systems are bundles of networked sensors and actuators that are deployed in an environment and act upon the sensory data that they receive. These systems, especially consumer electronics, have two main cooperating…
This article analyzes trust and security in computing and communications systems. While in human-life, trust usually has some kind of commonly understood meaning, in the realm of computing and communications systems, it could be interpreted…
The rapid deployment of wireless technologies has given rise to the current situation where mobile phones and other wireless devices have become essential elements in all types of activities, including in the home. In particular,…
Bluetooth backscatter systems, as a crucial technology for low-power communication in the Internet of Things (IoT), have witnessed remarkable development in recent years. This article comprehensively analyzes multiple related papers,…
A botnet is an army of zombified computers infected with malware and controlled by malicious actors to carry out tasks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are primarily targeted…
Large language models (LLMs) have transformed the way we interact with cyber technologies. In this paper, we study the possibility of connecting LLM with wireless sensor networks (WSN). A successful design will not only extend LLM's…
Chatbots, the common moniker for collaborative assistants, are Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that enables people to naturally interact with them to get tasks done. Although chatbots have been studied since the dawn of AI, they have…
