Secure and scalable device provisioning is a notorious challenge in Wi-Fi. WPA2/WPA3 solutions take user interaction and a strong passphrase for granted. However, the often weak passphrases are subject to guessing attacks. Notably, there has been a significant rise of cyberattacks on Wi-Fi home or small office networks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper addresses the device provisioning problem in Wi-Fi (personal mode) and proposes ComPass protocol to supplement WPA2/WPA3. ComPass…

TLDR
Results of extensive real-world experiments indicate that accurate CSI phase measurements can significantly improve the performance of splicing and the stability of the derived power delay profiles (PDPs).
Secret Group-Key Generation at Physical Layer for Multi-Antenna Mesh Topology
TLDR
The simulation results verify the performance of the proposed secret group-key generation scheme using various key-related metrics and verify the practical robustness of the scheme by implementing a testbed using universal software radio peripheral and test it using the National Institute of Standards and Technology test suit.
Instant and Robust Authentication and Key Agreement among Mobile Devices
TLDR
This work design and implement an authentication and key agreement protocol for mobile devices, called The Dancing Signals (TDS), being extremely fast and error-free, and shows that TDS only takes a couple of seconds to make devices agree on a 256-bit secret key with high entropy.
Security Analysis of Quantization Schemes for Channel-based Key Extraction
TLDR
This work presents test vectors based on a large measurement campaign, an extensive comparative evaluation framework (including ten protocols as well as new on-line entropy estimators), and a rigorous experimental security analysis that answers for the first time a variety of security and performance related questions about the behavior of 10 channel-based key establishment schemes from the literature.
A Novel Key Generating Architecture for Wireless Low-Resource Devices
TLDR
This work presents a new system architecture which is suitable also for resource-constrained platforms, and strongly focuses on security, rather than a robust key generation rate, as well as on low complexity and efficiency.
