A novel common control channel security framework for cognitive radio networks

摘要: Cognitive radio technology makes use of the underutilised spectrum opportunistically without causing interference to primary users. Cooperatively communicating cognitive devices common control channel medium access perform free announcements, selection and reservation before any actual data transmission. Common security is vital in order ensure subsequent communication among nodes. Additional well-known problems wireless networks, networks introduce new classes threats challenges, such as misbehaviours sensing, licensed user emulation attacks transactions. This paper presents a novel framework (protocol) for cooperatively networks. To best authors knowledge, this first address requirements channel. An implementation proposed protocol discussed illustrating how two nodes can authenticate each other prior confidential negotiations. The formally validated by GNY logic analysis illustrates that it meets principal authentication, confidentiality, integrity non-repudiation.
