ITIS 6010/8010: Wireless Network Security
With the wide adoption of wireless networks, security becomes a key factor.
Because of the signal propagation characteristics, limited bandwidth,
weak processing capability, and various other reasons, enforcing
security in wireless networks is more challenging.
This course will introduce the state-of-art techniques in wireless
security. The topics include:
Secure and resilient data aggregation,
Key pre-distribution and management,
Encryption and authentication,
Security in group communication,
Trust establishment and management,
Denial-of-service attacks,
Energy-aware security mechanisms,
Secure routing,
Secure localization and information privacy,
and more.
The course will be beyond the "teach-listen" form. The
students will form small groups and conduct some creative research
in a specific area in wireless security.
The course materials will be self contained.
