Proposal: 0716039Tontong Ellen LiCT-E: Secure Communication System Design for Wireless NetworksMichigan State UniversityThis project aims to develop advanced design methodologies for inherently secure wireless networks through tight secure access control and strong privacy protection. First, for secure access control, it establishes a resilient and highly reliable wireless interface to strengthen or replace the current device-based and/or password-based security by the highly secure user-based access control. The major challenge lies in that user based access control generally requires reliable transmission of several orders of magnitude more bits than the traditional user verification process. In this project, resilient security protocols and high capacity access control protocols are designed for effective credential information transmission and real time user authentication. Second, in current privacy protection schemes, information confidentiality is mainly performed at the network layer independent of the PHY layer, and thus is far from adequate for multimedia wireless communications. This research enhances the PHY layer built-in security by integrating cryptographic techniques into the transmitter-receiver design. Based on both cryptographic techniques and inherent ambiguity in signal detection over multiple access channels, this project formulates a joint PHY layer and upper layer privacy protection mechanism. Finally, overall system integration and validation will be performed through a reconfigurable simulation platform. By directly addressing multiple pivotal wireless security concerns, it is anticipated the important technological advances to be achieved in this project will contribute significantly to the design and development of a new generation of highly secure wireless networks. Additionally, by integrating the technological advances into the undergraduate/graduate curricula, and through outreach activities, significant impacts are expected from this project on training a highly-skilled and diverse workforce in the areas of wireless communications and network security, and on educating the public with respect to the need for secure and ethical operations in wireless communications.

提案：0716039Tontong Ellen LiCT-E：无线网络安全通信系统设计密歇根州立大学该项目旨在通过严格的安全访问控制和强大的隐私保护，为本质安全的无线网络开发先进的设计方法。首先，对于安全访问控制，它建立了弹性且高度可靠的无线接口，以通过高度安全的基于用户的访问控制来加强或取代当前基于设备和/或基于密码的安全性。主要挑战在于基于用户的访问控制通常需要比传统用户验证过程多几个数量级的可靠传输。在该项目中，弹性安全协议和高容量访问控制协议旨在实现有效的凭证信息传输和实时用户身份验证。 其次，在现有的隐私保护方案中，信息机密性主要在独立于PHY层的网络层进行，这对于多媒体无线通信来说是远远不够的。这项研究通过将加密技术集成到发送器-接收器设计中来增强 PHY 层内置安全性。基于密码技术和多接入信道信号检测固有的模糊性，该项目制定了联合 PHY 层和上层隐私保护机制。最后，整个系统集成和验证将通过可重新配置的仿真平台进行。通过直接解决多个关键的无线安全问题，预计该项目将实现的重要技术进步将为新一代高度安全的无线网络的设计和开发做出重大贡献。此外，通过将技术进步融入本科生/研究生课程并通过外展活动，该项目预计会对无线通信和网络安全领域培训高技能和多样化的劳动力以及教育公众产生重大影响关于无线通信中安全和道德操作的需求。
