Handling new adversaries in wireless ad-hoc networks (transcript of discussion)

Abstract

I was extremely happy to see this year's theme. In 2005 I had a talk here about redefining the adversary, and I still believe that that's a good topic to think about. Let me first say a few words about the adversary, and whoever gets whom I am paraphrasing will win a beer. A system without a definition cannot possibly be insecure, it can only be astonishing, and of course astonishment is a much under-rated security vice. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
