Most commercial wireless devices do not make lower-layer properties (e.g., raw waveform-level samples from an analog-to-digital converter) accessible to users. Recently, however, the research community has directed its attention towards the development of cognitive radios that will expose the lower-layers of the protocol stack to researchers and developers. Although the promise of such a flexible platform is great, there are also some serious potential security drawbacks. It is easily conceivable that cognitive radios could become an ideal platform for abuse since the lowest layers of the protocol stack will be accessible to programmers in an open-source manner. The proposed project addresses these concerns by focusing on two important building blocks needed in constructing a holistic solution to ensuring the trustworthy operation of software radios: first, the investigating team plans to develop tools to quantify the degree to which spectrum etiquette policies are abused in a network of cognitive radios and, second, the team plans to investigate methods for identifying such spectrum abuse, which is necessary in order to drive anomaly detection and response mechanisms. Overall, the broader impact of the effort is centered around the fact that cognitive radios represent an emerging technology that requires security mechanisms to be developed before these highly-programmable radios reach the public market.

大多数商业无线设备不让用户访问较低层的属性（例如，来自模数转换器的原始波形级样本）。然而，最近，研究界将注意力转向认知无线电的开发，该无线电将向研究人员和开发人员公开协议栈的较低层。尽管这种灵活的平台前景广阔，但也存在一些严重的潜在安全缺陷。很容易想象，认知无线电可能成为滥用的理想平台，因为程序员可以以开源方式访问协议栈的最低层。拟议的项目通过重点关注构建整体解决方案以确保软件无线电可靠运行所需的两个重要组成部分来解决这些问题：首先，调查团队计划开发工具来量化认知无线电网络中频谱礼仪政策被滥用的程度；其次，该团队计划研究识别此类频谱滥用的方法，这对于推动异常检测和响应机制是必要的。总体而言，这项工作的更广泛影响集中在这样一个事实：认知无线电代表了一种新兴技术，需要在这些高度可编程的无线电进入公共市场之前开发安全机制。
