Secret-Free Device Pairing in the mmWave Band. (arXiv:2306.17330v1 [cs.CR])

Many Next Generation (NextG) applications feature devices that are capable of
communicating and sensing in the Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) bands. Trust
establishment is an important first step to bootstrap secure mmWave
communication links, which is challenging due to the lack of prior secrets and
the fact that traditional cryptographic authentication methods cannot bind
digital trust with physical properties. Previously, context-based device
pairing approaches were proposed to extract shared secrets from common context,
using various sensing modalities. However, they suffer from various …
