Secure Wireless Fault Tolerant Tunable Networks (SWIFT)
Abstract
The scope of this project was to explore the interplay between security and performance. We have succeeded in exploring a large cross section of ideas on work in a total of 12 different projects, which fall naturally into three distinct areas. The first area deals with mechanisms for improving the performance of wireless ad-hoc networks. In this category, projects included improving TOP (Transmission Control Protocol) throughput, supporting group communication, routing, and on MAC (Media Access Control) layer enhancements for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks or MANETS. The second general area concerns security. Our suite of projects in this domain cover the areas of key agreement, false report filtering, key establishment using pre-distribution, a public-key distribution mechanism using Secure DNS (Domain Name Service), and a study of issues in denial-of-service attacks in MANETs. The final topic area involves the management of mobility. We have developed some very innovative approaches to handling complex spatio-temporal queries when objects move along road networks. This work represents a significant contribution to both wireless networking as well as to data management.
