- | ===== Denial-of-service attacks over wireless networks ===== | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | **General description**\\ | ||
- | Wireless networks are specially vulnerable to attacks by malicious | ||
- | nodes since the communication is over the air and hence the legitimate | ||
- | transmitted signal is mixed with jamming signals. The question | ||
- | addressed by this project is in the context of wireless relay networks | ||
- | where there are a set of authenticated helper (relay) nodes that | ||
- | facilitate communication between a source and a destination. These | ||
- | helper nodes attempt to maximize throughput between the source and | ||
- | destination while protecting it from malicuous transmissions by | ||
- | jamming nodes.\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | **Goal**\\ | ||
- | |||
- | The trade-off between throughput and resistance to these denial-of-service attacks is the main question addressed by this project. This develops on recent ideas on wireless networks developed (see http://licos.epfl.ch/index.php?p=research_projWNC). | ||
