EAGER: Exploring the Security Capabilities of Physical Layer Network Coding

随着移动的的使用，无线计算设备持续增长，因此关注确保这些无线网络内的通信不容易受到各种攻击。物理层网络编码（PNC）是作为用于改善无线网络中的通信的手段而开发的。该项目将进行探索性研究，以确定是否以及如何使用PNC来检测攻击。 这项工作分为三项任务。第一项任务将确定检测攻击的能力，并为不同的网络基础设施和攻击者模型设计相应的机制。信号强度攻击、Sybil攻击和虫洞攻击将是最初的研究目标。 第二项任务将研究所提出的机制的检测精度，并探索更复杂的网络场景。 第三项任务将开发模拟来模拟攻击检测机制。

As the use of mobile, wireless computing devices continues to grow, so does concern with assuring that communications within these wireless networks is not vulnerable to various kinds of attacks. Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) was developed as a means for improving communication in wireless networks. This project will conduct exploratory research to determine whether and how the use of PNC can be exploited to detect attacks. The work is organized into three tasks. The first task will identify capabilities to detect attacks and design corresponding mechanisms for differing network infrastructures and attacker models. Signal strength attacks, Sybil attacks, and wormhole attacks will be the initial targets of study. The second task will study the detection accuracy of the proposed mechanisms and explore more complex network scenarios. The third task will develop simulations to model the attack detection mechanisms.
