Abstract:

With the growing popularity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), a massive amount of purpose-specific, heterogeneous, inexpensive devices have been deployed. To allow these devices to perform their duties and collaborate efficiently, designing a secure and dependable communication channel is necessary. Pairing, as the fundamental procedure for establishing a trustworthy communication channel, has received extensive attention from security researchers. Previous secure pairing protocols depend on auxiliary peripherals (e.g. displays, speakers) to share the secret message, while for those products featuring with low-price, manufacturers would probably adopt insecure pairing methods to reduce the cost, so the devices may be subject to various attacks. To mitigate such a situation, we design a peripheral-free secure pairing protocol, termed SwitchPairing. Our protocol only requires users to connect the pre-pairing devices to the same power source, then randomly presses and releases the switch to generate a shared secret. It does not require additional peripherals and can defense eavesdropping and replay attacks innately. We implement a prototype via two CC2640R2F development boards and invite volunteers to participate in the experiments about bench-marking security and usability. The result of our experiments show that our protocol can fulfill the security and efficient requirement of various IoT applications.
