Securing emerging wireless systems: lower-layer approaches

Securing Emerging Wireless Systems: Lower-layer Approaches will focus on fundamental security problems that involve properties unique to wireless systems, such as the characteristics of radio propagation, or the location of communicating entities, or the properties of the medium access control layer. Specifically, the book provides detection mechanisms and highlights defense strategies that cope with threats to wireless localization infrastructure, attacks on wireless networks that exploit entity identity (i.e. spoofing attacks), jamming and radio interference that can undermine the availability of wireless communications, and privacy threats where an adversary seeks to infer spatial and temporal contextual information surrounding wireless communications. Additionally,the authors explore new paradigms of physical layer security for wireless systems, which can support authentication and confidentiality services by exploiting fading properties unique to wireless communications. Focuses on non-cryptographic attacks that cannot easily be addressed by using traditional methods, but are critical for developing secure wireless systems INDICE: Introduction.- Part I: Secure Localization.- Overview of Wireless Localization.- On the Robustness of Localization Algorithms to Signal StrengthAttacks.- Attack Detection in Wireless Localization.- Robust Statistical Methods for Attack-Tolerant Localization.- Spatio-Temporal Access Control by Dual-Using Sensor Networks.- Part II: Defending Against Wireless Spoofing Attacks.-Relationship-Based Detection of Spoofing-Related Anomalous Traffic.- Detecting and Localizing Wireless Spoofing Attacks.- Part III: Defending Against RadioInterference.- A Brief Survey of Jamming and Defense Strategies.- Jamming Attacks and Radio Interference.- Detecting Jamming Attacks and Radio Interference.- Channel Surfing: Defending Wireless Networks Against Radio Interferences.- Part IV: Preserving Privacy in Wireless Networks.- Enhancing Source-Location Privacy in Sensor Network Routing.- Temporal Privacy in Wireless Networks.- Securing Wireless Systems via Lower Layer Enforcements.- Concluding Remarks.
