BOOKS ON DEMAND Novel Techniques for Thwarting Communication Jamming in Wireless Networks by Mario Strasser
A major challenge in securing wireless applications and services is the inherent vulnerability of radio transmissions to communication jamming DenialofService (DoS) attacks. This vulnerability gains in significance the more one takes the ubiquity of these applications and services for granted and becomes a crucial factor in the context of safetycritical applications. At best failures of safetycritical systems can result in substantial financial damage at worst in loss of life. In this thesis we investigate the fundamental primitives that enable jammingresistant communication and propose novel antijamming techniques for scenarios where common antijamming techniques cannot be applied. This includes scenarios where network dynamics or lack of trust in the devices prohibits the predistribution of shared secrets (a prerequisite for common antijamming techniques) or where the use of antijamming communication is precluded by the constraints of the employed (e.g. narrowband and singlechannel) transceivers.show more
