Final Report: Resource Efficient Multi source Authentication with Split Join One Way Key Chain for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

We developed a new scheme utilizing Combined Key Chains (CMC) for multi-source authentication in wireless ad hoc networks. It was shown that the communication overhead is small and constant, and the memory requirement at a verifier node is also minimal. We built API tracing tool for Android-based Mobile Devices which can be effectively used for malware detection and other applications. A new user authentication technique was developed based upon human episodic memory model and a prototype implementation was developed. To detect network abnormal behaviors, a new technique was developed based on the two-level monitoring method. An informal lattice based partitioning approach was developed for IP watermark design and contactless verification. In addition, an FSM-level watermarking solution was developed for protection of sequential IP designs using state encoding and side channel analysis. Also, we produced research results on remotely wiping sensitive data on stolen smartphones and on reliable memory acquisition on smartphones. An Internet Traffic Prediction Model was developed by applying a signal processing technique. A secure physical memory protection technique was developed, and a new hardware-assisted technique was developed to isolate a computing environment on mobile devices. Also, to incorporate research into our curriculum, we developed a set of project modules on Android security for a senior capstone course for computer science undergraduate program. These project modules were actually adopted and used in our Spring 2013 senior capstone course, and we obtained positive feedback from students.
