Security Protocols for ad hoc networks

We are developing methods to support strong, but cheap and simple to use, authentication in pervasive devices used by humans.

• New family of security mechanisms that allow people to create secure connections between pairs or groups of devices with minimal effort.
• Collaborative working.
• Security where infrastructure is missing, compromised or out of action.
• Improved payment methods.
• Human-scale networks (e.g. healthcare sensors)
