  • Comprehensive Security Analyses of a Toys-To-Life Game and Possible Countermeasures Master Thesis - July 2016
    Comprehensive security analyses of a toys-to-life game and possible countermeasures Master thesis - July 2016 Author Kevin Valk Radboud University [email protected] Supervisor Supervisor Second reader Robert Leyland Lejla Batina Eric Poll Radboud University Radboud University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This thesis aims at modeling important attacks on a toys-to-life game using attack-defense trees. Using these trees, different practical attacks are executed to verify the current coun- termeasures and find possible new exploits. One critical exploit led to a binary dump of the firmware, which made it possible to reverse the key derivation algorithm. This led to breaking the security layer that protected the toys. With the key derivation algorithm known, toys could be forged for under a dollar and made it possible to search for unreleased toys and variants. Given the possible attacks, numerous countermeasures are presented to protect games against these attacks and improve general security. The foremost countermeasure is the addi- tion of digital signatures to the toys. This countermeasure makes it infeasible to forge toys. However, this does not stop 1-on-1 clones, but concepts are explored to protect against 1-on-1 clones in the future using Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). 1 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Background 5 2.1 Attack Trees.......................................5 2.1.1 Basic attack-defense trees............................5 2.1.2 Quantitative analysis...............................6 2.2 Public-key cryptography.................................6 2.3 Near Field Communication...............................7 2.3.1 MIFARE Classic.................................7 2.3.2 MIFARE Classic knockoff tags.........................8 3 Threat model 10 4 Attacks 14 4.1 Proxmark III......................................

  • Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology. Then I show that the intimate character of the park affords a loose network of men the opportunity to sustain regular and informal basketball games. Without the structure of formal organization men arrive at OVP explicitly to build and populate a vibrant gaming context with a diverse array of ii others.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
