Abstract

We discuss the use of context for cryptographic applications and present a case study in which we exemplary utilise ambient audio to establish a common cryptographic key among devices in proximity. We show that we can tweak the security level of the application by adapting the parameters of the Reed-Solomon error correcting code utilised.
