Secure Device Pairing Methods: An Overview
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
The procedure of setting up a secure communication channel among unfamiliar human-operated devices is called “Secure Device Pairing”. Secure binding of electronic devices is a challenging task because there are no security measures and commonly trusted infrastructure. It opens up the doors for many security threats and attacks e.g. man in middle and evil twin attacks. In order to mitigate these attacks different techniques have been proposed; some level of user participation is required in decreasing attacks in the device pairing process. A comparative and comprehensive evaluation of prominent secure device pairing methods is described here. The main motive of this research is to summarize the cryptographic protocols used in pairing process and compare the existing methods to secure the pairing devices. That will help in selecting best method according to the situation, as the most popular or easy method, instead they choose different methods in different circumstances.
