Security Management in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

自组织网络的目标是在其他一切都不可能的情况下提供通信。有些情况确实如此，例如战地通信、自然灾害和紧急情况。我的目标是在对等网络上为安全通信做出贡献，达到与基础设施网络(例如蜂窝网络)上实现的水平相当的水平。这是具有挑战性的，因为自组织网络不提供基础设施网络所提供的资源和稳定性。 我的长远目标是： -精心设计的原始协议元素，可确保对等网络上的安全通信。 -研究自组织网络中安全和服务质量之间的交互作用。 -整合使用自组织网络解决现实生活场景中的通信问题的解决方案。 我赞成采取一种综合办法，同时考虑到与安全管理有关的高度互动的实际方面，如容错、重新配置、核算和绩效。理论与实践相结合。合理的原则是建立在现实的和经过验证的假设基础上的。我将把我的大部分研究时间献给无线通信安全。 在接下来的几年里，我想把重点放在新兴技术带来的三个特定领域： -自适应协议，用于自组织网络上的多媒体流量，并考虑安全性和服务质量。 -认知自组织无线网络中次级频谱用户的安全公共信道选择。 -考虑到安全性和效率，从基础设施向特设网络移交。 -自组织网络中稳健的链路状态路由，考虑了安全性、效率和服务质量。

Ad hoc networks aim at providing communications when everything else is not possible. There are scenarios where this is indeed the case such as tactical field communications, natural catastrophes and emergencies. My goal is to contribute towards secure communications over ad hoc networks to a level comparable to the one achieved on infrastructure networks (e.g., cellular networks). This is challenging because ad hoc networks do not offer the resources and stability presented by infrastructure networks. My long term objectives are: - Elaborate original protocol elements leading to secure communications over ad hoc networks. - Investigate the interaction between security and quality-of-service in ad hoc networks. - Put together solutions that use ad hoc networks to solve communication issues in real life scenarios. I favour a holistic approach where highly interacting practical aspects related to security management are simultaneously taken into account, such as fault-tolerance, reconfiguration, accounting and performance. Theory and practice are combined. Sound principles are developed based on realistic and verified assumptions. I will dedicate most of my research time to wireless communications security. For the upcoming years, I want to concentrate on three particular areas enabled by emerging technologies: - Adaptive protocols for multimedia traffic over ad hoc networks, taking into account security and quality-of-service. - Secure common channel selection by secondary spectrum users in cognitive ad hoc wireless networks. - Handovers from infrastructure to ad hoc networks, taking into account security and efficiency. - Robust link-state routing in ad hoc networks, taking into account security, efficiency and quality-of-service.
