• Autonomous mesh networking extends range, eases deployment

• Modular, pure Java implementation encourages rapid prototyping and

experimentation

• Easy interfacing with Internet-connected devices/services, e.g. HTTP, TCP/IP*

Security
Vipul Gupta
Sun SPOT Locksmith

60
Why?

“Over-the-air” is the way of life for Sun SPOTs

Wireless code deployment, data exchange and management need

protection from unauthorized access, tampering, eavesdropping ...
61
Goals

• “User” (not cryptography) is often the weakest link

• Marry strong, efficient cryptography with simple, user-transparent key

management

• Leverage Sun Labs’ expertise in resource-efficient public-key cryptography --

elliptic curve cryptography

• compromising a device does not compromise entire network

• Reuse well-known, peer-reviewed industry standards

• Trust management should “just work” in the most common scenario

62
Securing Code Deployment
• Started out as a Java branding problem

Java Project
• Byte code verified on desktop and “sealed”
using a digital signature (ECDSA) compile

• Code sent over-the-air or via USB .JAR

.suite

• Signature verified on SPOT before execution deploy

• Addresses both
- Java branding
- general code authentication

• Signing key never leaves desktop!

63
Key Management for Code Deployment

• Each user’s SDK has a public/private key pair. SPOT stores “trusted” key
of owner.

• First deployer becomes owner with special over-the-air privileges -- code

deployment, management commands, restoring to ownerless state

• Simple, user-transparent key management balances security/ convenience

• Capturing a device does not allow attacker to deploy code to others

Trusted “owner”:

PublicSDK

_ __________
PrivateSDK First interaction with “ownerless” SPOT
e.g., application deployment

64
Secure Communication*

• Inspired by the simplicity of “https” user experience

• Reuses SSL protocol underneath. Adds HTTPS support for SPOT/Web

communication

• Securing inter-SPOT communication requires one simple change to

existing applications

conn = Connector.open(“radiostream://” + addr + “:” + port);

conn = Connector.open(“sradiostream://” + addr + “:” + port);

* This feature will be available in a forthcoming SDK release

Owner SDK

• SPOT uses its owner-signed certificate to identify itself in SSL handshake

• Secure communication between SPOTs with the same owner just works!

• Captured device can not masquerade as another device

• Additional scenarios also supported, e.g. trusting web CAs and SPOTs
belonging to other users
66
Main Takeaways

• Autonomous mesh networking built-in, pluggable architecture encourages

experimentation

• Security mechanisms use NSA-endorsed, next-generation, resource-efficient

public-key cryptography with user-transparent key management

• It just works!

Ron Goldman
Sun SPOT Virtual Handyman

ron.goldman@sun.com

73
How to give everyone a Sun SPOT?

• We would like every student & developer to be able to use Sun SPOTs.

• SPOTs are not cheap; hardware costs money.

• But distributing software is free.

• Can we give away a virtual SPOT, i.e. software-only?

• Yes we can! Provided that we have a SPOT simulator or emulator.

74
SPOT emulator

• Use Squawk VM to run virtual SPOT application

• Use Solarium for the GUI

• Treat virtual SPOTs like real Sun SPOTs

• Virtual SPOTs can send radio messages to each other

• Virtual SPOTs can talk over the radio to real SPOTs

75
Emulating the sensors

• Use a sensor panel to set the values of the virtual SPOT’s sensors

• Can specify temperature, input voltages, accelerations, etc.

About Sun SPOTs and the Sun SPOT JDK
The Sun SPOT hardware platform is a small, battery operated, wireless device running the Squawk JavaTM Virtual
Machine (JVMTM), which acts as both operating system and software application platform and runs directly
on the processor without an intervening OS. Based entirely on Java, Sun SPOTs provide a low-cost, low-power
versatile platform for developing wireless sensor and embedded applications. The Sun SPOT JDK includes a
complete hardware platform, the Squawk JVM, and a set of programming tools, including the NetBeansTM IDE,
so even high-level programmers can quickly write custom embedded applications. For more information, technical
details, forums, news, events and to purchase a Sun SPOT JDK, visit http://www.sunspotworld.com/
