Simulation framework for security threats in cognitive radio networks

Along with Cognitive Radio Networks are been developed, to design optimistic security mechanisms is becoming a big challenge. This paper proposes a taxonomy of attacks on Cognitive Radio Networks. This will help researches in the area to better understand the security problems and design more optimistic countermeasures. A new simulation framework for security threats has been developed to check all these attacks and countermeasures. Simulation framework has been tested with a Primary User Emulation attack. A new testbed for simulations suitable for CR security is ready.
