In this paper, we investigate the utilization of the angle of arrival (AoA) as a feature for robust physical layer authentication (PLA). While most of the existing approaches to PLA focus on common features of the physical layer of…

The robustness of angle of arrival (AoA) as a physical layer authentication (PLA) feature under spoofing attacks is studied, assuming a digital uniform linear array verifier. The verifier estimates the AoA assuming a legitimate user's…

Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation has found its way to a wide range of applications. Much attention have been paid to study different techniques for AoA estimation and its applications for jamming suppression, however, security…

Authentication is a key element of security, by which a receiver confirms the sender identity of a message. Typical approaches include either key-based authentication at the application layer or physical layer authentication (PLA), where a…

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques allow for multiplexing and/or diversity gain, and will be widely deployed in future wireless systems. In this paper, we propose a MIMO-assisted channel-based authentication scheme, exploiting…

A framework is presented for analyzing the impact of active attacks to location-based physical layer authentication (PLA) using the machinery of misspecified Cram\'er--Rao bound (MCRB). In this work, we focus on the MCRB in the…

In this paper we consider authentication at the physical layer, in which the authenticator aims at distinguishing a legitimate supplicant from an attacker on the basis of the characteristics of a set of parallel wireless channels, which are…

Channel estimation is of critical importance in millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Due to the use of large antenna arrays, low-complexity mmWave specific channel estimation algorithms are required. In…

Large-scale MIMO systems are well known for their advantages in communications, but they also have the potential for providing very accurate localization thanks to their high angular resolution. A difficult problem arising indoors and…

In a spoofing attack, an attacker impersonates a legitimate user to access or modify data belonging to the latter. Typical approaches for spoofing detection in the physical layer declare an attack when a change is observed in certain…

We propose an adversarially robust physical layer authentication (AR-PLA) framework tailored for non-stationary multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels. The framework integrates sequential Bayesian decision-making, deep…

Physical layer authentication relies on detecting unique imperfections in signals transmitted by radio devices to isolate their fingerprint. Recently, deep learning-based authenticators have increasingly been proposed to classify devices…

By adding users as a new dimension to connectivity, on-body Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices have gained considerable momentum in recent years, while raising serious privacy and safety issues. Existing approaches to authenticate these…

Strong authentication in an interconnected wireless environment continues to be an important, but sometimes elusive goal. Research in physical-layer authentication using channel features holds promise as a technique to improve network…

Advances in computing have resulted in an emerging need for multi-factor authentication using an amalgamation of cryptographic and physical keys. This letter presents a novel authentication approach using a combination of signal and antenna…

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that are limited in power and processing are susceptible to physical layer (PHY) spoofing (signal exploitation) attacks owing to their inability to implement a full-blown protocol stack for security. The…

An interference management problem among multiple overlapped random access networks (RANs) is investigated, each of which operates with slotted ALOHA protocol. Assuming that access points and users have multiple antennas, a novel…

Consider a microphone array, such as those present in Amazon Echos, conference phones, or self-driving cars. One of the goals of these arrays is to decode the angles in which acoustic signals arrive at them. This paper considers the problem…
