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.

TC：大型：合作研究：奥斯汀？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，这种技术带来的好处伴随着对协议栈进行轻松重新编程的能力。因此，有可能绕过通常锁定在固件中的保护。如果不开发安全机制来防止软件无线电的滥用，对手可能会以牺牲更大的利益为代价利用这些可编程无线电。管理软件无线电需要一种整体的方法，因为单独解决威胁将对可以获取并重新编程这些设备的对手无效。奥斯汀项目包括来自罗格斯大学无线信息网络实验室（WINLAB）、Wireless@Virginia科技大学小组和马萨诸塞大学的多学科团队。AUSTIN将识别软件无线电面临的威胁，并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。具体来说，AUSTIN将研究：(1)与软件无线电的分布式系统监管相关的理论基础；(2)开发包含可信组件和安全管理平面的架构，以加强监管；(3)涉及硬件和软件安全的机载防御机制；(4)策略调控、异常检测/惩罚和资源安全核算的算法。开发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。AUSTIN将提供一个整体的系统视图，这将导致对高度可编程无线设备的安全性有更深的理解。
