Topic 2: Secure Communication (A view from Transport Layer):

Transport Layer (End-to-End Communication)
o How to secure end-to-end communication?
o Need to know keys to be used for secure communication
o May want to anonymize the communication
o Defeating traffic analysis; spread spectrum for real?

Topic 3: MANET Network Layer Misbehavior (aware of selfish and uncooperative
behaviors, the rest of issues have been widely addressed.)
Network Layer: Misbehaving hosts may create many hazards
o May disrupt route discovery and maintenance: Force use of poor routes (e.g., long routes)
o Delay, drop, corrupt, misroute packets

o May degrade performance by making good routes look bad

E.g.: Drop/Corrupt/Misroute
o A node agrees to join a route (for instance, by forwarding route request in DSR)
but fails to forward packets correctly
o A node may do so to conserve energy, or to launch a denial-of-service attack, due to failure
of some sort, or because of overload
Encouraging Honesty in Wireless Networks
o Honest mobile nodes will forward packets for one another
o Cheaters will forward just for themselves
o May be difficult to tell the difference
o How can honesty be encouraged?

Topic 4: Countermeasure Misbehaviors at MAC Layer (Intelligent jamming)
MAC Layer Issues
o Disobey protocol specifications for selfish gains
o Denial-of-service attacks
Goals:
o Diagnose node misbehavior: Catch misbehaving nodes
o Discourage misbehavior: Punish misbehaving nodes
Potential Approaches:
o Watch idle times on the channel to detect when hosts wait too little
o Design protocols that improve the ability to detect misbehavior
o Protocols that discourage misbehavior [Konorski]: Certain game-theoretic approaches

Advanced Topic Presentation Guidelines

o The finalized list of the advanced topics will be provided by the instructor by the end of the
3rd week. The students have to choose their topics by the end of the 6th week. The topic
bidding procedure will follow the First Come First Serve rule.
o Each student will be required to give a 60-minute presentation on one advanced research
topic in the area of MANET and WSN security, followed by A 10-minute discussion led by
the instructor (and/or the speaker).
o The presentation should follow the style of teaching fellow students on the selected topic as
an expert.
o The presentation should have good balance of the width and depth on the selected topic
o Critique the paper (s) by identifying: open research problems; limitations in the papers
and explore solutions;
o Relate the presented work to the big picture and other relevant topics: problem setting,
problem, assumptions, results, possible extensions
o Reflect the work on its strength and weakness: assumptions; key ideas & performance
data/analysis
o The slides draft is due 1 week before the scheduled presentation. The instructor will provide
feedbacks by going through the slides with the speaker 1~2 times before the presentation
Presentation Evaluation Criteria
o Paper Reading & Presentation Design (0-18)
o
Vision and related work (0-4): Introduction of the big picture, compare and relate the
work to other works, the presenters depth and breadth of knowledge of the topic
o

Presentation Content (0-10): Stress and illustrate key ideas of the work, key
approaches of the work, and key results of the work, e.g., with examples and figures;
clarity in delivery, answering questions

Critiques (0-4): Identify holes, research questions, and potential improvements of the
work

o Presentation skills (0-2): slides organization, visual aids, preparation, punctuality,

communication with the audience, time management
