Seminar Security through measurement for wireless LANs

Speakers: Dr. David Kotz, Professor, Computer Science, Dartmouth [ http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~dfk/ ]
Date: Oct. 20th (Mon.)
Time and place:11am-12noon, Downstairs Classroom , AU-KBC Research Centre

Summary:

With the rise of Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN), any complete Wi-Fi security solution must address denial of service attacks, such as kicking off other clients, consuming excessive bandwidth, or spoofing access points, to the detriment of legitimate clients. Even authorized clients may be able to sufficiently disrupt service quality to make the network ineffective for legitimate clients. Our approach provides a new foundation for wireless network security, able to dynamically measure, analyze and protect a Wi-Fi network against existing and novel threats, including rogue clients and access points, with a focus on VoWLAN use cases. Our goal is to support thousands of APs and clients, quickly recognize most new attacks, and generate few false alarms.

In this talk I present an overview of work in progress, outlining the architecture of the MAP system and describing the results of our recent experiments with adaptive network measurement and initial methods of
packet analysis.

An Institute for Security Technology Studies project at Dartmouth College in cooperation with UMass Lowell and Aruba networks.  This project is funded by the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of the Cyber Security Research and Development (CSRD) program. Points of view in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Seminar on Femtocells

Speakers: Dr. C. Ramesh, Airvana
Date: 23rd August
Time and place: 11 am, AU-KBC Research Centre

Abstract:

Femtocells have the potential to transform communications by making the mobile device the tool of choice even in home settings. These miniature base stations are the size of a DSL router or cable modem and provide indoor wireless coverage to mobile phones using existing broadband Internet connections. For end users, personal base stations will solve a number of existing problems and enable new applications and services like, High performance data, Improved Multimedia experience and Better quality of Voice etc. The presentation includes the following topics

1. Femtocell architecture and overview
2. Femto RF planning and Interference Issues
3. Femto RAN subnet architecture
4. Femto authentication and Call flow
5. Femto provisioning and start-up, Practical deployment scenarios


Seminar on Cognitive Radio Networks -- An Introduction

Speakers: R. Chandramouli and K.P. Subbalakshmi
Date: June 6th, Friday
Time and place: 3 pm, AU-KBC Research Centre

Abstract:

Cognitive radio networks is an emerging paradigm in wireless communication. The recent spectrum policy reform advocated by the FCC, would allow unlicensed users to occupy the licensed spectral bands when the licensed users are not using the bands. This is envisaged as a means of using the available spectral bands efficiently. This talk will first introduce the concept of cognitive radio networks and its implications on dynamic spectrum access networks. We will then discuss some standardization efforts in this area as well as some experimental test-bed setup. We will also discus the various security issues that come up in the design of such networks.

Speaker Bios:

R. Chandramouli is the Thomas Hattrick Chair of Information Systems Associate Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology. He is the founding Chair of the IEEE Committee on Cognitive Networks.
