Abstract :
The rapid deployment of wireless technologies has given rise to the current situation where mobile phones and other wireless devices have become essential elements in all types of activities, including in the home. In particular, smartphones and laptops are used for wirelessly sharing photos and documents, playing games, browsing websites, and viewing multimedia, for example. This work describes a proposal for both desktop and mobile applications that use Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC) to protect communications between smart wireless devices in the home. It combines the use of IBC for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication, with the promising Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for secure authentication. The proposed scheme involves NFC pairing to establish as public key a piece of information linked to the device, such as a phone number or an IP address. In this way, such information can be then used in an IBC scheme for peer-to-peer communication. Preliminary implementations of prototypes on several mobile platforms have already produced some promising results.
