TC:Large: Collaborative Research: AUSTIN-- An Initiative to Assure Software Radios have Trusted Interactions

TC：大型：合作研究：奥斯汀-确保软件无线电具有可信交互的倡议(CNS-0910557)软件和认知无线电将极大地提高无线设备适应其协议和改善通信的能力。不幸的是，这种技术将带来的好处与轻松地对协议栈进行重新编程的能力相结合。因此，可以绕过通常在固件内锁定的保护。如果不开发安全机制来防止滥用软件无线电，攻击者可能会以牺牲更大利益为代价来利用这些可编程无线电。监管软件无线电需要整体方法，因为单独应对威胁将对可以获取这些设备并对其进行重新编程的对手无效。奥斯汀项目涉及来自罗格斯大学无线信息网络实验室(WINLAB)、无线@弗吉尼亚理工大学小组和马萨诸塞大学的多学科团队。奥斯汀将确定软件无线电面临的威胁，并将通过与认知无线电网络相关的各种交互元素来解决这些威胁。具体地说，奥斯汀将审查：(1)与软件无线电的分布式系统监管相关的理论基础；(2)包括可信组件和用于增强监管的安全管理平面的体系结构的开发；(3)涉及基于硬件和软件的安全的板载防御机制；以及(4)执行策略监管、异常检测/惩罚和资源安全核算的算法。开发可确保软件无线电可靠运行的解决方案对于支持下一代无线技术至关重要。奥斯汀将提供一个全面的系统视图，这将导致对高度可编程的无线设备的安全性有更深入的了解。

TC:Large: Collaborative Research: AUSTIN?An Initiative to Assure Software Radios have Trusted Interactions (CNS-0910557)Software and cognitive radios will greatly improve the capabilities of wireless devices to adapt their protocols and improve communication. Unfortunately, the benefits that such technology will bring are coupled with the ability to easily reprogram the protocol stack. Thus it is possible to bypass protections that have generally been locked within firmware. If security mechanisms are not developed to prevent the abuse of software radios, adversaries may exploit these programmable radios at the expense of the greater good.Regulating software radios requires a holistic approach, as addressing threats separately will be ineffective against adversaries that can acquire, and reprogram these devices. The AUSTIN project involves a multidisciplinary team from the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) at Rutgers University, the Wireless@Virginia Tech University group, and the University of Massachusetts. AUSTIN will identify the threats facing software radios, and will address these threats across the various interacting elements related to cognitive radio networks. Specifically, AUSTIN will examine: (1) the theoretical underpinnings related to distributed system regulation for software radios; (2) the development of an architecture that includes trusted components and a security management plane for enhanced regulation; (3) onboard defense mechanisms that involve hardware and software-based security; and (4) a algorithms that conduct policy regulation, anomaly detection/punishment, and secure accounting of resources. Developing solutions that ensure the trustworthy operation of software radios is critical to supporting the next generation of wireless technology. AUSTIN will provide a holistic system view that will result in a deeper understanding of security for highly-programmable wireless devices.
