Software-Defined Networking Enabled Resource Management And Security Provisioning In 5g Heterogeneous Networks, Xiaoyu Duan Jul 2017

Software-Defined Networking Enabled Resource Management And Security Provisioning In 5g Heterogeneous Networks, Xiaoyu Duan

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Due to the explosive growth of mobile data traffic and the shortage of spectral resources, 5G networks are envisioned to have a densified heterogeneous network (HetNet) architecture, combining multiple radio access technologies (multi-RATs) into a single holistic network. The co-existing of multi-tier architectures bring new challenges, especially on resource management and security provisioning, due to the lack of common interface and consistent policy across HetNets. In this thesis, we aim to address the technical challenges of data traffic management, coordinated spectrum sharing and security provisioning in 5G HetNets through the introduction of a programmable management platform based on Software-defined networking …

Lightweight Three-Factor Authentication And Key Agreement Protocol For Internet-Integrated Wireless Sensor Networks, Qi Jiang, Sherali Zeadally, Jianfeng Ma, Debiao He Mar 2017

Lightweight Three-Factor Authentication And Key Agreement Protocol For Internet-Integrated Wireless Sensor Networks, Qi Jiang, Sherali Zeadally, Jianfeng Ma, Debiao He

Information Science Faculty Publications

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will be integrated into the future Internet as one of the components of the Internet of Things, and will become globally addressable by any entity connected to the Internet. Despite the great potential of this integration, it also brings new threats, such as the exposure of sensor nodes to attacks originating from the Internet. In this context, lightweight authentication and key agreement protocols must be in place to enable end-to-end secure communication. Recently, Amin et al. proposed a three-factor mutual authentication protocol for WSNs. However, we identified several flaws in their protocol. We found that their …

Visual Authentication Based On Visual Cryptography Using Mobile Devices, Yang-Wai Chow, Willy Susilo, Man Ho Au, Ari Moesriami Barmawi Jan 2017

Visual Authentication Based On Visual Cryptography Using Mobile Devices, Yang-Wai Chow, Willy Susilo, Man Ho Au, Ari Moesriami Barmawi

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Authentication refers to the process of confirming the identity of the authenticating entity. The use of passwords for user authentication has become ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Despite its wide-spread usage, password-based authentication has numerous deficiencies. For instance, password theft is becoming a common occurrence due to a variety of security problems associated with passwords.As such, many organizations are moving towards adopting alternative solutions like one-time passwords, which are only valid for a single session. Nevertheless, various one-time password schemes also suffer from a number of drawbacks in terms of their method of generation or delivery. In this chapter, we …

Token-Based Authentication Method For M2m Platforms, Hüseyi̇n Polat, Saadi̇n Oyucu Jan 2017

Token-Based Authentication Method For M2m Platforms, Hüseyi̇n Polat, Saadi̇n Oyucu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nowadays the fields in which machine-to-machine (M2M) applications are used and the numbers of M2M devices and users are increasing gradually. In an M2M application, M2M platforms are used in order to follow and analyze the data presented by M2M devices. The communication of multiple users and devices via an M2M platform causes some problems in terms of security. In this study, an M2M platform has been developed by using RestFul web services and NoSQL database. On this platform a token-based authentication method was used for multiple users and devices. In this method, an authorized request approach was adopted for …
