Title:
His Late Master's Voice: barking for localization privacy
Speaker:
Mike Burmester, U of Florida

Abstract:
Bob died suddenly leaving his treasure to sister Alice. Moriarty
will do anything to get it, so Alice hides the treasure together
with Nipper, and promptly departs. Nipper is a low-cost RFID
device that responds only to Alice's calls making it possible for
Alice to locate the hidden treasure later (she is quite forgetful)
when Moriarty is not around.
We study the design of Nipper, the cryptographic mechanisms
used to support its functionality, and the security of the
application.

Applications:
1.  Device discovery, e.g., locating tagged plastic mines, hidden
   objects, etc (one interrogation per tag for the lifetime of
   the system).
2.  Sensor  deployments  in  hostile  territory. The tagged sensors
   are not networked for localization privacy. An armored robotic
   RFID reader traverses the deployment area interrogating the tags
   to collect information (multiple interrogations per tag).
