  • Abstract
    Establishing secure connection between 802.15.3 interface enabled devices with zero knowledge is a challenging issue. We call "media hotspot" geographic boundaries areas covered by a group of 802.15.3 enabled devices that offers media contents. This paper provides an efficient scheme for securing media hotspot. This scheme provides a zero knowledge cross-layer pairing protocol for 802.15.3 networks and a physical layer encryption model to encrypt messages at the physical layer. The protocol uses information-theoretic security.
