Cristina Nita-RotaruPurdue0545949AbstractWireless mesh networks are emerging as a promising robust low-costnetwork architecture able to provide increased coverage and largerbandwidth, resulting in higher quality of service and informationavailability.Many distributed applications provided on wireless mesh networks enablecollaborations and sharing of information. Such applications benefitfrom scalable, robust and secure group services such asone-to-many or many-to-many multicast and distributed data access.Group services, in turn, require support from infrastructure protocolssuch as routing, or security mechanisms such as authentication, accesscontrol and key management.The goal of this project is to advance state-of-the-art group-orientedservices in the context of wireless mesh networks. The project presentsnew formulations of distributed problems capturing the particularities ofwireless mesh networks and the interactions between security, availabilityand scalability. It also studies the viability and limitations of cross-layerdesign as a new paradigm of building secure network services. Innovativeresults consist of scalable one-to-many and many-to-many wirelessmulticast protocols that provide support for efficient group communication, scalabledata sharing algorithms that are robust to malicious behavior,high-throughput, robust and secure routing that assist applications to achievehigh-performance, scalable key management protocols and authenticationmechanisms enabling decentralized infrastructure access services.This project contributes to the education of the next generation of securesystems designers, generating interactions between the distributedsystems, security and wireless networks research areas.

摘要无线mesh网络作为一种低成本、高覆盖率、高带宽、高服务质量、高可用性的网络体系结构，其提供的分布式应用可以实现协作和信息共享.这样的应用程序受益于可扩展的，健壮的和安全的组服务，如一对多或多对多的多播和分布式数据访问。组服务，反过来，需要支持的基础设施协议，如路由，或安全机制，如认证，访问控制和密钥管理。 该项目提出了分布式问题的新配方，捕捉无线网状网络的特殊性和安全性，可用性和可扩展性之间的相互作用。研究了跨层设计作为构建安全网络服务的新范式的可行性和局限性。创新成果包括可扩展的一对多和多对多无线多播协议，这些协议为高效的组通信提供支持，可扩展的数据共享算法对恶意行为具有鲁棒性，高吞吐量，鲁棒和安全的路由，帮助应用程序保持高性能，可扩展的密钥管理协议和认证机制，使分散的基础设施访问服务。该项目有助于教育的下一个生成分布式系统设计师，生成分布式系统之间的交互，安全和无线网络研究领域。
