Abstract
In this paper, we propose a group device pairing system called NFV to enable group communication using mobile device equipped with motion sensors. A group of people put their mobile devices on the table and wait for a secure connection. We propose a vibration-propagation based key delivery scheme to transmit a secure connection key among a group of trusted mobile devices. Based on this key, group users establish a confidential communication channel between their devices. NFV achieves group devices pairing without the complex operations needed in prior works. We implemented NFV using off-the-shelf Android smartphones. The experimental results shows the efficiency and security of our system.
