Security in personal area networks
Christian Gehrmann, Kaisa Nyberg · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2004
This chapter discusses security for personal area networks (PANs). An overview of different PAN security issues and solutions is given. We define a PAN reference and trust model. A PAN security architecture based on the model is described. Especially we provide new solutions to the PAN device security initialisation problem using manual authentication techniques. We show that PAN key management can be sub stantially simplified using trust delegation or a personal 'Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)'. Internal PAN communication security as well as secure configuration and access control is discussed.
