Abstract
We propose a concept of coverage-bounding and 'visual' wireless communication-HODOR 1-to secure the Internet of Things (IoT). Coverage-bounding means the communication coverage is controlled accurately in 3-dimensions. 'Visual' implies that the communication coverage and process are visible to user, representing an important and user-friendly side-channel for se-curing IoT. HODOR can provide secure wireless communication both psychologically (visible to users) and technically (nodes only communicate with each other within their delimited coverage). It can benefit IoT applications for secure wireless communications, especially those that demand secure interactions in proximity.
