| - | ===== 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). | ||
