STRAP: Secure TRansfer of Association Protocol
Philip B. Lundrigan, Sneha Kumar Kasera, Neal Patwari · 2018
When several internet-of-things devices are required to be installed in a smart home, significant effort is required to provide each device with the association information for the home's wireless router. We design and build a novel protocol called Secure Transfer of Association Protocol (STRAP), which securely bootstraps connectivity between a set of deployed WiFi devices and a home's wireless router. We show that STRAP works in a variety of environments and is faster than conventional methods for connecting WiFi devices to home wireless routers.
