This paper introduces a new paradigm of physical layer security through channel coding for wireless networks. The well known spread spectrum based physical layer security in wireless network is applicable when code division multiple access (CDMA) is used as wireless air link interface. In our proposal, we incorporate the proposed security protocol within channel coding as channel coding is an essential part of all kind of wireless communications. Channel coding has a built-in security in the sense of encoding and decoding algorithm. Decoding of a particular codeword is possible only when the encoding procedure is exactly known. This point is the key of our proposed security protocol. The common parameter that required for both encoder and decoder is generally a generator matrix. We proposed a random selection of generators according to a security key to ensure the secrecy of the networks against unauthorized access. Therefore, the conventional channel coding technique is used as a security controller of the network along with its error correcting purpose.

Security is an important issue for wireless communications and poses many challenges. Most security schemes have been applied to the upper layers of communications networks. Since in a typical wireless communication, transmission of data is over the air, third party receiver(s) may have easy access to the transmitted data. This work examines a new security technique at the physical layer for the sake of enhancing the protection of wireless communications against eavesdroppers. We examine the issue of secret communication through Rayleigh fading channel in the presence of an eavesdropper in which the transmitter knows the channel state information of both the main and eavesdropper channel. Then, we analyze the capacity of the main channel and eavesdropper channel we also analyze for the symbol error rate of the main channel, and the outage probability is obtained for the main transmission. This work elucidate that the proposed security technique can safely complement other Security approaches implemented in the upper layers of the communication network. Lastly, we implement the results in Mat lab

Ad hoc network is self-organized network powered by battery. The reliability of virtual user identification and channel security are reduced when SNR is low due to limited user energy. In order to solve this problem, a joint virtual user identification and channel security en/decoding method is proposed in this paper. Transmitter-receiver-based virtual user identification code is generated by executing XOR operation between orthogonal address code of transmitter and pseudo random address code of receiver and encrypted by channel security code to acquire orthogonal random security sequence so as to improve channel security. In order to spread spectrum as well as improve transmission efficiency, data packet is divided into 6-bit symbols, each symbol is mapped with an orthogonal random security sequence. Subspace-based method is adopted by receiver to process received signal firstly, and then a judgment model is established to identify virtual users according to the previous processing results. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method obtains 1.6dB E_b/N₀ gains compared with reference methods when miss alarm rate reaches 10^-3.

Trusted channel provides a means of secure communication and it includes security services such as confidentiality, authentication, and so on. This paper describes the implementation of trusted channel between secure operating systems that integrates access control mechanisms with FreeBSD kernel code[1]. The trusted channel we developed offers confidentiality an4 message authentication for network traffic based on the destination address. It is implemented in the kernel level of IP layer and transparent to users.

Security operating system applied to MAC(Mandatory Access Control) or to MLS(Multi Level Security) gives both subject and object both Security Level and value of Category, and it restrict access to object from subject. But it violates Security policy of system and could be a circulated course of illegal information. This is correctly IPC(Interprocess Communication)mechanism and Covert Channel. In this thesis, I tried to design and implementation as OS kernel in order not only to give confidence of information circulation in the Security system, but also to defend from Covert Channel by Storage and IPC mechanism used as a circulated course of illegal information. For removing a illegal information flow by IPC mechanism. I applied IPC mechanism to MLS Security policy, and I made Storage Covert Channel analyze system call Spec. and than distinguish Storage Covert Channel. By appling auditing and delaying, I dealt with making low bandwidth.

With increasing demands for security evaluation of side-channel resistance for crypto algorithm implementations, many equipments are developed at various research institutes. Indeed, commercial products came out for the purpose of evaluation and certification tool of security products. However, various types of security products exclusive a smart card make it difficult to implement a security evaluation system for them. In this paper, we describe implementation and characteristic of the side-channel evaluation boards of the KLA-SCARF, which is the project to develop domestic side-channel evaluation system. This report would be helpful for following researchers who intend to develop side-channel evaluation boards for other security devices.

As side-channel analysis and machine learning algorithms share the same objective of classifying data, numerous studies have been proposed for adapting machine learning to side-channel analysis. However, a drawback of machine learning algorithms is that their performance depends on human engineering. Therefore, recent studies in the field focus on exploiting deep learning algorithms, which can extract features automatically from data. In this study, we survey recent advances in deep learning-based side-channel analysis. In particular, we outline how deep learning is applied to side-channel analysis, based on deep learning architectures and application methods. Furthermore, we describe its properties when using different architectures and application methods. Finally, we discuss our perspective on future research directions in this field.

This paper analyzes the side channel attacks for smartcard devices, and proposes the smartcard suity evaluation criteria for side-channel attacks. To setup the smartcard security evaluation criteria for side-channel attacks, we analyze similar security evaluation criteria for cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic modules, and smartcard protection profiles based on the common criterion. Futhermore, we propose the smartcard security evaluation criteria for side-channel attacks. It can be useful to evaluate a cryptosystem related with information security technology and in addition, it can be applied to building smartcard protection profile.

In this paper, we present multi-channel authentication based security card design. Since this security card is written on the transparent paper, security information is extracted by overlaying the card with smartphone screen. This method removes the limitations of physical layout in previous security card and improves the security level. Furthermore, our security card is secure when our card is exposed to malicious users.

In this paper we introduce a new paradigm of physical layer security for wireless network. Existing security protocols like internet's transport layer security protocol has some security flaws that skilled hackers could exploit. Motivated from this point we introduce a new security protocol that works in physical layer which is much less vulnerable to hackers than any other higher layers. In our proposal, we incorporate the proposed security protocol within channel coding as channel coding is an essential part of wireless communication. We utilize the flexibility to choose a generator matrix (or generator polynomial) of a particular code that selects the code words as a core of our protocol. Each pair of wireless node will select a unique generator using their security key before they started to communicate with each other.
