Unified security architecture and protocols using third party identity in V2V and V2I networks

VANETs have been developed to improve the safety and efficiency of transportation systems (V2V communications) and to enable various mobile services for the traveling public (V2I communications). For VANET technologies to be widely available, security issues concerning several essential requirements should be addressed. The existing security architectures and mechanisms have been studied separately in V2V and V2I networks, which results in duplicated efforts, security modules, and more complex security architectures. In this paper, we propose a unified security architecture and its corresponding security protocols that achieve essential security requirements such as authentication, conditional privacy, non‐repudiation, and confidentiality. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first study that deals with the security protocol in V2V as well as the handover authentication in V2I communications. Our proposal is characterized by a low‐complexity security framework, owing to the design and unification of the security architectures and modules. Furthermore, the evaluation of the proposed protocols proves them to be more secure and efficient than existing schemes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A secure conference scheme for mobile communications

A growing application area in mobile communications is mobile teleconference in which a group of mobile users collaborate in an interactive procedure, such as a board meeting, a task force, a scientific discussion, or even a virtual classroom. Wireless communications transmit conversations via radio, making them more susceptible to eavesdropping and unauthorized access than are conversations carried via wires. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure confidentiality and authenticity in a mobile teleconference. The authors design a new secure conference scheme for mobile communications. Based on a modular square root technique, this scheme is secure against eavesdropping, impersonating, and tracking attacks and allows a participant to join or quit a mobile teleconference dynamically.     

Fixed Mobile Convergence Architectures for Broadband Access: Integration of EPON and WiMAX [Topics in Optical Communications]

EPON and WiMAX are two promising broadband access technologies for new-generation wired and wireless access. Their complementary features motivate interest in using EPON as a backhaul to connect multiple dispersed WiMAX base stations. In this article we propose four broadband access architectures to integrate EPON and WiMAX technologies. The integrated architectures can take advantage of the bandwidth benefit of fiber communications, and the mobile and non-line-of-sight features of wireless communications. Based on these integrated architectures, we elaborate on related control and operation issues to address the benefits gained by this integration. Integration of EPON and WiMAX enables fixed mobile convergence, and is expected to significantly reduce overall design and operational costs for new-generation broadband access networks.     

Universal broadband mobility target for post-TINA infrastructure:toward the fourth generation

Future universal broadband mobile services present a challenge for telecommunications architectures, control, and management. The focus of the future mobile (fourth) generation vision is turned from capacity to services, from radio to network-wide issues. New types of applications will evolve that should be supported by an adequate programmable intelligent telecommunications infrastructure. A convergence between telecom and datacom networks will happen based on the communications middleware concept, which will provide universal secure connectivity between mobile users and their applications. Actual specifications of TINA-C do not address all such necessary issues. There is a need for technology evolution, enhancement, and integration to meet these new requirements at different levels. The author the concept of the universal broadband mobile telecommunications systems (UBMTS, or simply UBM) described as fourth-generation mobile systems. The UBMTS objective is both to extend mobile user access to the range of broadband services that will exist for broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN) users, and to extend the customization of new services related to personal communications systems (PCS) users     

A secure and efficient conference scheme for mobile communications

A growing application area in mobile communications is mobile teleconferencing, in which a group of mobile users collaborate in an interactive procedure, such as a board meeting, a task force, a scientific discussion, or even a virtual classroom. Wireless communications transmit conversations via radio, making them more susceptible to eavesdropping and unauthorized access than are conversations carried via wires. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure confidentiality and authenticity in mobile teleconferencing. When deploying secure services in mobile teleconferences, it has to be taken into account that the mobility of users is usually built on portable devices with limited computing capability. A secure conference scheme for mobile communications needs to be executed efficiently on portable devices. We propose a new secure and efficient conference scheme for mobile communications. Based on a modular square root technique, this scheme is secure against eavesdropping, impersonating, and tracking attacks and allows a participant to join or quit a mobile teleconference dynamically. In addition, the scheme is particularly efficient on the mobile user's portable device because the mobile user needs to perform only single modular multiplication plus encryptions and decryptions of a secret key cryptosystem.     

Broadcasting Multi-beams Antenna Subset Modulation for Secure Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communications

Due to the increasing demand for wireless communications, spectral efficiency of transmission schemes has gained a great concern recently. Also, achieving secure wireless communications is of high importance. Recently, physical layer security has been intensively investigated as an extra layer of protection for wireless communications. Directional modulation (DM) has been proposed as a mean to implement physical layer security. Antenna subset modulation (ASM) is a low complexity single beam DM technique suitable for millimeter-wave communications. The small wavelengths nature of millimeter-wave band is exploited to equip a transmitter with a large antenna array, and by randomly choosing few elements of this array for transmitting a symbol, secure communication in a single direction is obtained. This paper provides a study for the performance of broadcasting multi-beams antenna subset modulation (MASM) in which it is desirable to broadcast data streams to different receivers. A statistical model has been driven, and the symbol error rate of MASM using QPSK and secrecy capacity are obtained. Simulation results show that ASM can be used efficiently for multidirectional broadcasting communication, while maintaining its inherent security.

Privacy preservation in secure group communications for?vehicular ad hoc networks

Secure communications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have become an important research issue these years. Many protocols for secure vehicle-to-vehicle communications and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications have been proposed, yet fewer protocols are concerned with secure group communications for VANETs. Of those existing protocols for group communications, some of them form a group of vehicles based on geographical regions and provide broadcasting to the group members with or without message confidentiality. The others allow secure vehicle-to-vehicle communications within a group with session keys, but they do not preserve user privacy for communicating parties within the group. In this paper, we propose a novel group communication scheme for vehicular networks, in which a group is formed by a set of related vehicles of the same purpose, such as a platoon of recreational vehicles targeted for the same tourist spot. The scheme not only offers efficient and secure group communications but also provides privacy preservation for vehicle-to-vehicle communications within a group. Security analysis is given to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed scheme.

Theoretical model of optical fiber secure communication system with chaotic multiple-quantum-well lasers

Chaotic synchronization of injected multiple-quantum-well lasers of optical fiber system and a theoretical model of optical fiber chaotic secure communication system are presented by coupling a chaotic multiple-quantum-well laser synchroniza- tion system and a fiber channel. A new chaotic encoding method of chaos phase shift keying On/Off is proposed for optical fiber secure communications. Chaotic synchronization is achieved numerically in long-haul fiber system at wavelength 1.55 μm. The effect of the nonlinear-phase of fiber is analyzed on chaotic signal and synchronization. A sinusoidal signal of 0.2 GHz frequency is simulated numerically with chaos masking in long-haul fiber analog communication at wavelength 1.55 μm while a digital signal of 0.5 Gbit/s bit rate is simulated numerically with c1haos masking and a rate of 0.05 Gbit/s are also simulated numerically with chaos shift keying and chaos phase shift keying On/Off in long-haul fiber digital communica- tions at wavelength 1.55 μm     

The simulation modelling and performance analysis of low earth orbit satellite communication networks for personal communications

This paper extends previous research efforts related to the simulation performance modelling and analysis of satellite communication networks. Specifically, the use of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks for personal communications is examined. Six different satellite constellation configurations are investigated in a packet‐switched operating environment. Performance metrics examined are the end‐to‐end packet delay and the utilization of satellite channels in the dynamic environment. Realistic and accurate models of the physical satellite network and its terrestrial transmitters require that numerous operating characteristics and assumptions be specified. These are based on proposed design requirements of commercial systems, such as Iridium. Via the use of simulation, we show the relative delay and utilization performance of differing satellite network architectures. From these simulation models, mathematical metamodels are derived for the system delays. These innovative models are used to predict the delay performance of different network architectures not previously simulated. Comparison of these metamodels with simulation results show that metamodels provide an accurate means for performance prediction. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Vlsi Array Architectures for Pyramid Vector Quantization

We present parallel algorithms and array architectures for pyramid vector quantization (PVQ) [1] for use in image coding in low-power wireless systems. PVQ presents an alternative to other quantization methods which is especially suitable for symmetric peer-to-peer communications like video-conferencing. But, both the encoding and decoding algorithms have data-dependent iteration bounds and data-dependent dependencies which prevent efficient parallelization of the algorithms for either hardware or software implementations. We perform an algorithmic transformation [2] to convert the data-dependent regular algorithms to equivalent data-independent algorithms. The resulting regular algorithms exhibit modular and regular structures with minimal control overhead; hence, they are well suited for VLSI array implementation in ASIC or FPGA technologies. Based on our parallel algorithms and systematic design methodologies [3], we develop linear array architectures. Both encoder and decoder architectures consist of L identical processors with local interconnections and provide O(L) speed-up over a sequential implementation, where L is the dimension of a vector. The architectures achieve 100% processor utilization and permit power savings through early completion. A combined encoder-decoder architecture is also presented.     

Analysis and design of a frequency-hopped spread-spectrumtransceiver for wireless personal communications

Personal communications services (PCS) require low-power radio technologies. One such transceiver architecture employing frequency-hopped spread-spectrum techniques is presented. System features such as antenna diversity with equal-gain combining and sequential hop combining are incorporated into the transceiver design to achieve robust wireless digital data transmission over fading channels. A direct-conversion architecture from radio frequency (RF) to baseband reduces the overall power consumption by eliminating intermediate frequency (IF) components. High-rate frequency hopping with frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation is implemented using a direct digital frequency synthesis technique. A multiplierless correlation FSK detector, suitable for direct-conversion receivers, has been designed for quadrature noncoherent detection. Robust acquisition algorithms based on energy detection and pattern matching and tracking architectures using digital phase-locked loops are also described for system synchronization. The proposed transceiver is well-suited for low-power PCS applications and other portable wireless communications

Design and Comparison of FFT VLSI Architectures for SoC Telecom Applications with Different Flexibility,Speed and Complexity Trade-Offs

The design of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) integrated architectures for System-on-Chip (SoC) telecom applications is addressed in this paper. After reviewing the FFT processing requirements of wireless and wired Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) standards, including the emerging Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and OFDM Access (OFDMA) schemes, three FFT architectures are proposed: a fully parallel, a pipelined cascade and an in-place variable-size architecture, which offer different trade-offs among flexibility, processing speed and complexity. Silicon implementation results and comparisons with the state-of-the-art prove that each macrocell outperforms the known works for a target application. The fully parallel is optimized for throughput requirements up to several GSamples/s enabling Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications by using all channels foreseen in the standard. The pipelined cascade macrocell minimizes complexity for large size FFTs sustaining throughput up to 100 MSamples/s. The in-place variable-size FFT macrocell stands for its flexibility by allowing run-time reconfigurability required in OFDMA schemes while attaining the required throughput to support MIMO communications. The three architectures are also compared with common case-studies and target technology.     

Contrasting fiber-optic-component-design requirements in telecommunications, analog, and local data communications applications

This paper contrasts the system requirements in the three major applications of fiber optics: digital telecommunications, analog, and local data communications. These comparisons reveal how differing system requirements result in very different architectural design for the fiber optics components, particularly the receiver design. Some alternative receiver architectures are discussed along with performance tradeoffs.
