A Millimeter-Wave Communication System for Wireless Security and Networking Research and Education
Abstract
The main goal of this project is to build a state-of-the-art, programmable, and reconfigurable mmWave platform to conduct mm Wave wireless security and networking research. To support flexible implementations of various applications, the testbed is built from reconfigurable and programmable software defined radios and commercial off-the-shelf hardware. Such a platform will be leveraged to address unexplored challenges in security, privacy, and reliability in mmWave communications. Specifically, the proposed infrastructure will advance our research on a wide range of topics directly funded by the DoD and of DoD interest including trust establishment in wireless networks, physical layer security in mmWave, security and privacy in CPS and IoT (e.g., connected autonomous vehicles and unmanned aircraft systems), multi-hop networking, and fair and secure coexistence in mmWave. The testbed will enable the understanding, modeling, and experimental validation of fundamental security and networking-related signal propagation properties of mmWave bands, and the systematic study of attack vectors and defenses in this domain. Moreover, it will provide invaluable hands-on education opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. Combined with our existing lab facilities, such a testbed would significantly strengthen our wireless and security research and education capabilities at the University of Arizona.
