“…Furthermore our design minimizes the transmission overhead of adding security by reducing the number of messages that need to be exchanged. In [23] we have validated the transmission cost of our proposed mechanisms by simulations in NS-2 [19]. Although our work is done in the context of Personal Networks, our proposals are relevant to other models [27] [28] in which constrained personal devices are networked over unreliable wireless links.…”

“…Consequently, in order to ensure the reliable delivery of re-key information we repeat it within 'i' consecutive cluster advertisements. In [23] we use simulation results to justify a value for 'i'. Once devices have verified that the new key is genuine, they are ready to switch over.…”

Abstract-A Personal Network is a self-organizing, secure and private network of a user's devices notwithstanding their geographic location. It aims to utilize pervasive computing to provide users with new and improved services. In this paper we propose a model for securing Personal Network clusters. Clusters are ad-hoc networks of co-located personal devices. The ad-hoc makeup of clusters, coupled with the resource constrained nature of many constituent devices, makes enforcing security a challenging task.We propose a novel way of imprinting personal devices and predeploying tickets for future authentication. Our key management framework is based on a combination of existing models, albeit modified to match the constraints and assets of Personal Networks. The mechanisms for self organization are original since they need to be tailored to our proposed security framework. All models are designed to be suitable for resource constrained devices yet robust enough for self organization and secure communication.

A personal network (PN) should enable the collaboration of user's devices and services in a flexible, self‐organizing, and friendly manner. For such purpose, the PN must securely accommodate heterogeneous technologies with uneven computational and communication resources. In particular, personal radio frequency identification (RFID) tags can enable seamless recognition of user's context, provide user authentication, and enable novel services enhancing the quality and quantity of data handled by the PN. However, the highly constrained features of common RFID tags and their passive role in the network highlights the need of an adequate secure communication model with personal tags, which enables their participation as a member of the PN. In this paper, we present our concept of PN, with special emphasis on the role of RFID and sensor networks, and define a secure architecture for PNs including methods for the secure access to context‐aware technologies from both local PN members and the Internet of Things. The PN architecture is designed to support differentiated security mechanisms to maximize the level of security for each type of personal device. Furthermore, we analyze which security solutions available in the literature can be adapted for our architecture, as well as the challenges and security mechanisms still necessary in the secure integration of personal tags.
