Silicon-based terahertz (THz) integrated circuits (ICs) have made rapid progress over the
past decade. The demonstrated basic component performance, as well as the maturity of …

Distance-bounding protocols have been introduced to thwart relay attacks against
contactless authentication protocols. In this context, verifiers have to authenticate the …

This article presents an ultra-small, high-security identification tag that is entirely built in a
CMOS chip without external components. The usage of backscatter communications at 260 …

Relay attacks (and, more generally, man-in-the-middle attacks) are a serious threat against
many access control and payment schemes. In this work, we present distance-bounding …

The boom of connected Internet of Things (IoT) nodes and ubiquity of wireless
communications are projected to increase wireless data traffic by several orders of …

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a group of low power computing mobile and wireless
devices which cooperatively form an infrastructure-less and decentralised network. Scarcity …

NFC and RFID are technologies that are more and more present in our life. These
technologies allow a tag to communicate without contact with a reader. In wireless …

Near Field Communication (NFC) is being used in a variety of security-critical applications,
from access control to payment systems. However, NFC protocol analysis typically requires …

In distance-bounding authentication protocols, a verifier assesses that a prover is (1)
legitimate and (2) in the verifier's proximity. Proximity checking is done by running time …

Smartcard-based protocols represent an increasingly large share of the wireless
authentication market, from contactless payments to remote car unlocking. Unfortunately …
