Worst-Case Detection Performance for Distributed SIMO Physical Layer Authentication

A Physical-Layer Authentication Assisted Scheme for Enhancing 3GPP Authentication

The broadcast nature of radio propagation makes wireless networks vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks. To enhance authentication strength in wireless networks, various physical layer authentication schemes were proposed by exploiting physical layer characteristics. Recently, we proposed a novel PHYsical layer Phase Challenge-Response Authentication Scheme (PHY-PCRAS), which exploits both the re...

Title of Dissertation : PHYSICAL LAYER AUTHENTICATION

Title of Dissertation: PHYSICAL LAYER AUTHENTICATION Paul Yu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor John S. Baras Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering A fundamental problem in security is authentication: namely, how to verify the identity of another party. Without this verification, the ideas of privacy and integrity are moot. Modern authentication techniqu...

Multimodal object authentication with random projections: a worst-case approach

In this paper, we consider a forensic multimodal authentication framework based on binary hypothesis testing in random projections domain. We formulate a generic authentication problem taking into account several possible counterfeiting strategies. The authentication performance analysis is accomplished in the scope of NeymanPearson framework as well as for an average probability of error for b...

Noncoherent Detection for Physical-Layer Network Coding

This paper investigates noncoherent detection in a two-way relay channel operated with physical layer network coding (PNC), assuming FSK modulation and short-packet transmissions. For noncoherent detection, the detector has access to the magnitude but not the phase of the received signal. For conventional communication in which a receiver receives the signal from a transmitter only, the phase d...
