NeTS-NBD: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UPASS-An Attack Resilient Security Architecture for Wireless Mesh NetworksAward 0626881 0626601Yuguang Fang and Wenjing LouRapidly-deployable self-organizing wireless networks such as wireless LANs, mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, particularly the convergence of such technologies, have received tremendous attention in the last few years, leading to a new type of network called wireless mesh network (WMN). WMNs have been posed as the competitive rival to the future wireless cellular technologies and provide a promising technology for ubiquitous high-speed network access, secure facility surveillance, disaster relief, public safety and homeland security. While many research efforts in WMNs have been made, security is still an untapped area. This project investigates this fundamental issue with the goal to develop a light-weight secure authentication and billing architecture, termed UPASS. UPASS features a novel user-broker-operator trust model built upon conventional certificate-based cryptography and emerging ID-based cryptography. Under this model, each user is furnished with a universal pass used to realize seamless roaming across WMN domains and gain ubiquitous secure network access. Moreover, an incontestable billing scheme is developed to facilitate the proper charging for the network usage through a lightweight real-time micropayment protocol built upon the combination of digital signature and one-way hash-chain techniques. Finally, since WMNs have been envisioned to be the most viable solutions to achieving seamless high-speed access with significantly low deployment cost, the proposed research will play a significant role in the commercialization of WMN technologies. Hence, it can have a significant impact on the telecommunications industries. The project benefits from the participation of minority faculty and students spanning undergraduate to doctoral levels across two institutions.

NetS-NBD：协作研究：UPASS-无线网状网络的抗攻击安全架构奖 0626881 0626601Yuguang Fang 和 Wenjing Lou 快速部署的自组织无线网络，例如无线 LAN、移动自组织网络和无线传感器网络，特别是这些技术的融合，在过去几年中受到了极大的关注， 导致一种称为无线网状网络（WMN）的新型网络。 WMN 已被视为未来无线蜂窝技术的有力竞争者，并为无处不在的高速网络接入、安全设施监控、救灾、公共安全和国土安全提供了一种有前景的技术。尽管在 WMN 方面已经做出了许多研究工作，但安全性仍然是一个尚未开发的领域。该项目研究了这一基本问题，目标是开发一种轻量级安全身份验证和计费架构，称为 UPASS。 UPASS 具有新颖的用户-经纪人-运营商信任模型，该模型建立在传统的基于证书的加密技术和新兴的基于 ID 的加密技术之上。在该模式下，每个用户都拥有一张通用通行证，用于实现跨WMN域的无缝漫游，获得无处不在的安全网络接入。此外，还开发了一种无可争议的计费方案，通过基于数字签名和单向哈希链技术组合的轻量级实时小额支付协议，促进对网络使用进行适当的收费。最后，由于 WMN 被认为是以极低的部署成本实现无缝高速接入的最可行的解决方案，因此所提出的研究将在 WMN 技术的商业化中发挥重要作用。因此，它可能对电信行业产生重大影响。该项目得益于两个机构的本科至博士级别的少数族裔教师和学生的参与。
