The cosmic evolution of the Internet of things (IoTs) in par with its realization in all spheres of
life undertakings, mandates continuous research pursuits in IoT and its associated …

In this paper, we introduce a degradation-of-QoS (DeQoS) attack against vehicular ad hoc
networks (VANETs). Through DeQoS, the attacker can relay the authentication exchanges …

From contactless payments to remote car unlocking, many applications are vulnerable to
relay attacks. Distance bounding protocols are the main practical countermeasure against …

NFC and RFID are technologies that are more and more present in our life. These
technologies allow a tag to communicate without contact with a reader. In wireless …

We propose a new distance bounding protocol, which builds upon the private RFID
authentication protocol by Peeters and Hermans [25]. In contrast to most distance-bounding …

Authentication in wireless communications often depends on the physical proximity to a
location. Distance-bounding (DB) protocols are cross-layer authentication protocols that are …

Distance-bounding protocols prevent man-in-the-middle attacks by measuring response
times. The four attacks such protocols typically address, recently formalized in [10], are:(1) …

Authentication for resource-constrained devices is seen as one of the major challenges in
current wireless communication networks. The HB+ protocol by Juels and Weis provides …

An RFID ownership transfer protocol enables a tag owner to transfer the ownership of the
tag to a new owner. While there have been a large number of such protocols in the literature …

During the past decade, cybersecurity threats have drawn everyone's attention and it's
becoming a national priority in many leading countries. With the development of …
