Secure Collaborative Services for Wireless Mesh Networks

Research Areas: Network Security,

Principal Investigator: Cristina Nita-Rotaru

Group-oriented services are envisioned to be an important class of application in the environment of wireless mesh networks. This project focuses on developing scalable, robust, and secure group communication protocols for wireless mesh networks. In particular, we will: · Build a wireless mesh test-bed for experiments and protocol validation · Develop distributed protocols for efficient group communication (multicast, broadcast) in wireless mesh networks · Investigate and develop efficient and robust group key management protocol in wireless mesh networks · Study the viability and limitations of cross-layer design as a new paradigm of building secure network services
