CASINOng Towards Secure, Dynamic Group Management in Wireless Personal Area Networks

With the advent of more and more small devices with networking capabilities, the interest in their secure self organisation has grown. These devices – smartlets as we named them – may have multiple transient ownerships and the resulting trust environment can become quite complex. Our paper takes a look at a fictious next generation casino and some necessary hardware as an illustration, and examines what operations (such as cryptographically secure group management) could become relevant in solving the problems observed there.
