The emerging wireless paradigm of dynamic spectrum access via cognitive radio technology has been increasingly recognized for its great potential in drastically enhancing spectrum utilization efficiency. The basic requirements of cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are to protect licensed primary users and provide reliable dynamic spectrum access to secondary cognitive users, which give rise to a new fundamental issue in spectrum access related security. This project develops a comprehensive security system that lays down a secure backbone for CRNs that coexist with primary networks under various network architectures and spectrum coexistence paradigms. The developed security measures are coherently embedded into the entire CRN, from the very beginning of the spectrum sensing stage to the dynamic spectrum access process until the data communication stage. Targeting three main sources of CRN security vulnerability, our research objectives and thrusts include: 1) systematically identify the unique primary user related attacks in CRNs and develop a suite of attack detection and defense mechanisms; 2) develop secure and robust strategies of dynamic spectrum access for benign cognitive users; 3) design confidential and anonymous mechanisms to solve the distinct challenges in privacy protection, taking full advantage of the unprecedented flexibility that CRNs offer in dynamic spectrum utilization. This project lays out the foundation for the development of enabling security technologies for the new paradigm of dynamic spectrum sharing, which in turn can substantially improve the spectrum utilization efficiency of wireless networks, offering a multitude of new cognitive radio devices and wireless services with secure and reliable spectrum access.

通过认知无线电技术进行动态频谱访问的新兴无线范式因其在大幅提高频谱利用效率方面的巨大潜力而​​得到越来越多的认可。认知无线电网络（CRN）的基本要求是保护授权的主要用户并为次要认知用户提供可靠的动态频谱接入，这给频谱接入相关的安全带来了新的基本问题。该项目开发了一个全面的安全系统，为在各种网络架构和频谱共存范例下与主网络共存的 CRN 奠定了安全的支柱。所开发的安全措施连贯地嵌入到整个CRN中，从频谱感知阶段的一开始到动态频谱访问过程直至数据通信阶段。针对CRN安全漏洞的三个主要来源，我们的研究目标和主旨包括：1）系统地识别CRN中独特的主要用户相关攻击，并开发一套攻击检测和防御机制； 2) 为良性认知用户制定安全、稳健的动态频谱接入策略； 3) 设计保密和匿名机制来解决隐私保护方面的独特挑战，充分利用 CRN 在动态频谱利用方面提供的前所未有的灵活性。该项目为动态频谱共享新范式的支持安全技术的开发奠定了基础，从而可以大幅提高无线网络的频谱利用效率，提供多种新的认知无线电设备和无线服务，并提供安全和可靠的服务。可靠的频谱接入。
