Abstract EN
Modern systems are increasingly dependent on the integration of physical processes and information technologies.
This trend is remarkable in applications involving sensor networks, cyberphysical systems, and Internet of Things.
Despite its complexity, such integration results in physical context information that can be used to improve security, especially authentication.
In this paper, we show that entities sharing the same physical context can use it for establishing a secure communication channel and protecting each other against external attacks.
We present such approach proposing a theoretical model for generating unique bitstreams.
Two different protocols are suggested.
Each one is evaluated using probabilistic analysis and simulation.
In the end, we implement the authentication mechanism in a case study using networks radio signal as physical event generator.
The results demonstrate the performance of each of the protocols and their suitability for applications in real world.
