Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are finding growing applications in time-critical and mission-critical scenarios such as disaster rescue?C public safety and military operations. The purpose of this project is to investigate two very important but mostly untouched MANET security issues: user unlocatability and communication anonymity. Without solving them, mobile users can be easily tracked or their communication patterns can be easily gathered for user profiling, which would jeopardize the user privacy and make them vulnerable to pinpoint attacks. In this project, a novel overlay-based approach OverUCA, an anonymous network overlay composed of nodes that anonymously communicate with one another atop the underlying MANET substrate, will be investigated to achieve user unlocatability, source anonymity, destination anonymity, source-destination unlinkability, and full compatibility with existing routing and MAC protocols. The success of this research will have a tremendous impact on advancing the deployments of MANETs in security-critical commercial, civilian, and military applications. This research will provide a viable way to fight against pinpoint attacks, advance the state-of-the-art in the wireless security research, and spark new research activities in securing MANETs. Moreover, the results from this research will be disseminated widely through high-quality conference and journal publications and public talks. Furthermore, the research outcome will be integrated into the educational curricula across two institutions. Finally, a couple of minority (female) students will work for their Ph.D. degrees, and hence this project will train the minority professionals for the national work force.

移动临时网络（MANETS）正在寻找越来越多的时间关键和关键任务的应用程序，例如灾难救援公共安全和军事行动。该项目的目的是调查两个非常重要但大多数未触及的MANET安全问题：用户的无稳定性和通信匿名性。如果不解决它们，就可以轻松地跟踪移动用户，或者很容易收集其通信模式进行用户分析，这将危害用户隐私并使他们容易受到精确攻击的影响。在这个项目中，将研究一种基于覆盖的方法Overuca，这是一个由节点组成的匿名网络覆盖层，该节点将匿名与彼此互动的底层材料基板互相通信，以实现用户的无可启动性，源匿名，目的地匿名，源源，源止痛，源止痛度，无链接性以及与现有路由和MAC协议的完全兼容。这项研究的成功将对推进易人在安全至关重要的商业，平民和军事应用中的部署产生巨大影响。这项研究将提供一种与精确攻击作斗争，推进无线安全研究的最新攻击的可行方法，并引发新的研究活动。 此外，这项研究的结果将通过高质量的会议以及期刊出版物和公众对话广泛传播。此外，研究成果将纳入两个机构的教育课程。最后，几个少数（女）将为自己的博士学位工作。学位，因此该项目将培训少数派专业人士的国家劳动力。
