1.  Cyber Security Projects: Wireless Authentication, Location, and Tracking System (WALTS) and Location and Tracking System (LTS) (Tennessee State University -Dr. Decatur Rogers) -in progress

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.
