Radio fingerprinting can distinguish wireless devices using radio frequency signals, as unique device hardware imperfections are carried in such signals. Radio fingerprinting is a physical-layer authentication technique and plays a critical role in identifying individual devices (e.g., IoT devices) and mission-critical targets (e.g., Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). This project develops new methods to promote the robustness, scalability, and resilience of radio fingerprinting by synergizing deep learning and signal processing. This project addresses three research questions, specifically (1) how to improve the robustness of radio fingerprinting against temporal variations of wireless channels; (2) how to mitigate nonlinear receiver hardware imperfections; and (3) how to improve the resilience of radio fingerprinting against white-box attackers. The research outcomes of this project will be disseminated through publications and new course modules and projects. These will promote cybersecurity workforce development as well as broaden the participation of students from underrepresented groups in computing.This project is jointly funded by the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program, and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

无线电指纹识别可以使用射频信号来区分无线设备，因为此类信号中包含独特的设备硬件缺陷。无线电指纹识别是一种物理层身份验证技术，在识别单个设备（例如物联网设备）和关键任务目标（例如无人机）方面发挥着关键作用。该项目开发了新方法，通过深度学习和信号处理的协同作用来提高无线电指纹识别的鲁棒性、可扩展性和弹性。该项目解决了三个研究问题，特别是（1）如何提高无线电指纹识别对无线信道时间变化的鲁棒性； (2)如何减轻非线性接收器硬件缺陷； (3)如何提高无线电指纹识别对抗白盒攻击者的弹性。该项目的研究成果将通过出版物以及新的课程模块和项目进行传播。这些将促进网络安全劳动力的发展，并扩大计算机领域代表性不足群体的学生的参与。该项目由安全可信网络空间（SaTC）计划和刺激竞争性研究既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
