The unique identities of every mobile user (phone number,IMSI) and device (IMEI) are far from secure and are increasingly vulnerable to a variety of network-level threats. The exceedingly high reliance on the weak SIM authentication layer…
A nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network is being planned by the United States government. The network will be based on long term evolution (LTE) standards and use recently designated spectrum in the 700 MHz band. The…
Wireless networks are a common place nowadays and almost all of the modern devices support wireless communication in some form. These networks differ from more traditional computing systems due to the ad-hoc and spontaneous nature of…
This paper proposes a generic approach for providing enhanced security to communication systems which encode their data for reliability before encrypting it through a stream cipher for security. We call this counter-intuitive technique the…
As 6G research advances, the growing demand leads to the emergence of novel technologies such as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), new antenna arrays like extremely large MIMO (XL-MIMO) and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces…
Traditionally, 802.11-based networks that relied on wired equivalent protocol (WEP) were especially vulnerable to packet sniffing. Today, wireless networks are more prolific, and the monitoring devices used to find them are mobile and easy…
Mobile Internet is becoming the norm. With more personalized mobile devices in hand, many services choose to offer alternative, usually more convenient, approaches to authenticating and delivering the content between mobile users and…
Now-a-days, a lot of research is being carried out in the development of USVs (Unmanned surface vehicles), UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) etc. Now in case of USVs generally, we have seen that wireless controlled vehicles use RF circuits…
Over the years, use of smartphones has come to dominate several areas, improving our lives, offering us convenience, and reshaping our daily work circumstances. Beyond traditional use for communication, they are used for many peripheral…
The vision for 6G aims to enhance network capabilities with faster data rates, near-zero latency, and higher capacity, supporting more connected devices and seamless experiences within an intelligent digital ecosystem where artificial…
The short message service (SMS) was introduced a generation ago to the mobile phone users. They make up the world's oldest large-scale network, with billions of users and therefore attracts a lot of fraud. Due to the convergence of mobile…
Mobile communications have been undergoing a generational change every ten years or so. However, the time difference between the so-called "G's" is also decreasing. While fifth-generation (5G) systems are becoming a commercial reality,…
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is one of the most commonly used cellular technologies in the world. One of the objectives in mobile communication systems is the security of the exchanged data. GSM employs many cryptographic…
A novel private communication framework is proposed where privacy is induced by transmitting over a channel instances of linear inverse problems that are identifiable to the legitimate receiver but unidentifiable to an eavesdropper. The gap…
The ubiquitous presence of mobile communication devices and the continuous development of mo- bile data applications, which results in high level of mobile devices' activity and exchanged data, often transparent to the user, makes privacy…
The intense demands for higher data rates and ubiquitous network coverage have raised the stakes on developing new network topology and architecture to meet these ever-increasing demands in a cost-effective manner. The telecommunication…
Due to the convergence of various mobile access technologies like UMTS, WLAN, and WiMax the need for a new supporting infrastructure arises. This infrastructure should be able to support more efficient ways to authenticate users and…
Our increasing reliance on digital technology for personal, economic, and government affairs has made it essential to secure the communications and devices of private citizens, businesses, and governments. This has led to pervasive use of…
The aim of the paper is to provide a solution which increases the security of a mobile environment for both individuals and for workers in an enterprise. The proposed solution adapts Shamir's approach for sharing a secret for encryption key…
Sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks are expected to operate for multiple decades, supporting mission-critical and globally federated digital services. This long operational horizon coincides with rapid advances in quantum computing that…
