Multi-Sensor Message Security

Abstract

2186This work provides details for improving upon the existing solutions for communications between radios and distributed sensors by utilizing industry standard RSA and AES encryption techniques with adaptations suitable for a diverse DSA network. The techniques described in this report provide message confidentiality, integrity, and authentication into the current DSA network paradigm through the usage of new features including RSA based key-exchange, AES key unicast/multicast encryption, a packet driven state machine, and active sensor database within the radio. These techniques have been demonstrated in a simulated software network consisting of one simulated DSA-enabled radio and up to four simulated sensors.
