Cyber security remains a critical national vulnerability. At the local, state and regional level,
products developed for the national security environment or the national homeland security environments are not necessarily adaptable,
usable or affordable. This project will develop two components:
Wireless Authentication, Localization,
and Tracking System Utilizing RFIDs (WALTS) -in progress
Securing network hardware and/or software alone is insufficient to avoid
exploiting the flaws in wireless networks. With this in mind, there exists a need to physically locate, track and authenticate users
to identify offenders. The purpose of this research is to improve wireless network security by exploring the utilization of Radio
Frequency Identifications (RFIDs) in the authentication scheme.
Localization and Tracking of a Mobile Node
Using Directional Antennae (LTS) -in progress
The objective of this research is to develop a secure wireless sensor network by designing
and implementing a network security capability that is able to localize and track a network client in a static wireless network. This
is achieved through the deployment of an array of directional antennae along the perimeter of a given wireless network.
Cyber security research includes secure internet protocols including standard security methods; improved capability to model the effects of cyber attacks and understanding of internet topography; comprehensive next-generation network models; composable and scalable secure systems; technologies and standards for managing identities, rights and authorities used in an organization’s networks; information system insider threat detection models and mitigation technologies; analytical techniques for security across the IT system engineering life-cycle; process control systems security. SERRI has funded the following cyber security research projects:
