Abstract

Usability-oriented zero configuration (ZeroConf) designs, with automatic service discovery plug-and-play techniques, give rise to security implications. A study focusing on Apple--the major proponent of ZeroConf--brings to light a disturbing lack of security: major ZeroConf components are mostly unprotected, and popular apps and system services are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
