Enhancing intrusion detection in wireless networks using radio frequency fingerprinting

چکیده
Media access control (MAC) address spoofing can result in the unauthorized use of network resources. This paper demonstrates a novel approach, which incorporates radio frequency fingerprinting (RFF) into a wireless intrusion detection system (IDS), for detecting this attack. RFF is a technique that is used to uniquely identify a transceiver based on the transient portion of the signal it generates. Moreover, the success rate of a wireless IDS is also improved by correlating several observations in time, using a Bayesian filter. Simulation results, with an average success rate of (94-100%), support the feasibility of employing RFF and Bayesian filtering techniques to successfully address the aforementioned problem.

Design of Cross Layer Based Intrusion Detection Technique for Wireless Lan
In this chapter, a cross-layer based intrusion detection technique for wireless networks is proposed. The proposed technique uses a combined weight value that is computed from the received signal strength (RSS) and time taken for RTS-CTS Handshake (TT). 3.1 Introduction The rapid proliferation of wireless local area networks has changed the landscape of network security. The traditional way of ...

متن کاملDetecting Impersonation Attacks in Future Wireless and Mobile Networks
Impersonation attacks in wireless and mobile networks by professional criminal groups are becoming more sophisticated. We confirm with simple risk analysis that impersonation attacks offer attractive incentives to malicious criminals and should therefore be given highest priority in research studies. We also survey our recent investigations on Radio Frequency Fingerprinting and User Mobility Pr...
متن کاملA New Intrusion Detection System to deal with Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
By extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. Security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. Due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
