Computing devices equipped with multiple radio interfaces and working on multiple channels are becoming predominant in wireless networks. These networks are usually Multi-Interface Multi-Channel Mobile Networks (MIMC-MANETs). However, the study of security vulnerabilities and the research of fundamental security mechanisms in channel management of MIMC-MANETs have been seriously lagging behind the rapid progress of other research. This project studies the security of MIMC-MANETs in three aspects. 1. Investigating the unique (unknown) security vulnerabilities associated with channel management in MIMC-MANETs. 2. Developing MIMC-enabled security mechanisms. This project redefines channel conflict, reveals the fundamental causes and consequences of channel attacks, and develops novel and attack-resilient security mechanisms to secure channel management (and routing) in MIMC-MANETs. New security mechanisms utilize the capability of MIMC, and include collaborative channel monitoring, channel-utilization based channel conflict detection and resolution, logic-based attack investigation, and cross-layer security design. 3. Building MIMC security and performance evaluation toolkits: This project develops evaluation toolkits and builds experimental environments. The toolkits and experimental environments can serve as a major testbed for the whole research community to conduct future MIMC-MANET research.This project will advance the understanding of the unique security problems in MIMC-MANETs. The developed techniques will greatly enhance the security of the MIMC network infrastructure and secure the mission critical applications built atop such networks. Broader impacts will result from the education, outreach, and dissemination initiatives. Educational resources from this project, including course modules and teaching laboratory designs, will be disseminated through a dedicated Website.

配备有多个无线电接口并且在多个信道上工作的计算设备在无线网络中正变得占主导地位。这些网络通常是多接口多信道移动的网络（MIMC-MANNER）。然而，MIMC-MANDO信道管理中的安全漏洞研究和基本安全机制的研究却严重滞后于其他研究的快速发展。本课题从三个方面对MIMC-MANDROOM的安全性进行了研究。1.调查与MIMC-MANDIX中的通道管理相关的独特（未知）安全漏洞。2.开发支持MIMC的安全机制。该项目重新定义了信道冲突，揭示了信道攻击的根本原因和后果，并开发了新颖的攻击弹性安全机制，以确保MIMC-MANDOS中的信道管理（和路由）。新的安全机制利用了MIMC的能力，包括协作通道监控，基于通道利用率的通道冲突检测和解决，基于逻辑的攻击调查，和跨层安全设计。3.构建MIMC安全和性能评估工具包：该项目开发评估工具包并构建实验环境。该工具包和实验环境可以作为一个主要的测试平台，为整个研究界进行未来的MIMC-MANET的研究。该项目将推进MIMC-MANET独特的安全问题的理解。所开发的技术将极大地增强MIMC网络基础设施的安全性，并确保建立在这些网络之上的使命关键应用程序的安全。教育、外联和传播举措将产生更广泛的影响。该项目的教育资源，包括课程模块和教学实验室设计，将通过一个专门的网站传播。
