Abstract:

Wireless networks have experienced unprecedented growth over the last decade. Our reliance on these and new types of wireless networks will only increase with the emergence of new application domains such as public safety, medical, transportation, and industrial and home automation systems. Increasingly, these networks and applications that are built on top of them rely on location and proximity measurements. In this talk we review vulnerabilities of deployed localization and proximity verification systems and solutions that are proposed to secure them. We discuss the security of GPS, WiFi positioning systems, Entry and Start Systems for Cars and in some more detail the design and implementation of distance bounding systems.
