Insecurity of Wireless Networks

Journal Article Sheldon, Frederick T ; Weber, John Mark ; Yoo, Seong-Moo ; ... - IEEE Security and Privacy Magazine

Wireless is a powerful core technology enabling our global digital infrastructure. Wi-Fi networks are susceptible to attacks on Wired Equivalency Privacy, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and WPA2. These attack signatures can be profiled into a system that defends against such attacks on the basis of their inherent characteristics. Wi-Fi is the standard protocol for wireless networks used extensively in US critical infrastructures. Since the Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) security protocol was broken, the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol has been considered the secure alternative compatible with hardware developed for WEP. However, in November 2008, researchers developed an attack on WPA,more »« less

Experimental Evaluation of Interference in 2.4 GHz Wireless Network

Technical Report Agarwal, Vivek ; Mahmud, Syed Ayaz ; Kasera, Sneha ; ...

To attain automation across different applications, nuclear power plants are beginning to leverage advancements in wireless communication technologies. A “one-size-fits-all” solution cannot be applied since wireless technologies are selected according to application needs, quality of service requirements, and economic restrictions. To balance the trade-off between technical and economic requirements, a multi-band heterogeneous wireless network architecture is needed. Numerous wireless technologies including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Bluetooth share the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band. However, due to different channel access mechanisms and transmit power levels, and very importantly, uncoordinated use, coexistence of these devices in the same vicinity can causemore »« less

Gbps Wireless Optical Network Connection through Visible Light Communications

Technical Report Wang, Xu ; Mohammad, Noshad

In the DOE SBIR topic “Advanced Digital Network Technologies and Middleware Services”, the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research seeks grant applications for developments in advanced optical network technologies that enable DOE scientists to communicate with peers, and collect/process data at Gbps data-rates. Providing Gbps wireless connection is a challenge in last-mile networks as the data-rate of Wi-Fi technology is limited to a few hundreds of Mbps. Visible light communication (VLC) is a potential alternative data communication technique for wireless applications that uses optical energy to provide simultaneously lighting needs and data transmission. This technology transmits data using the lightingmore »« less
TRANSENSOR: Transformer Real-time Assessment INtelligent System with Embedded Network of Sensors and Optical Readout. Final Report

Technical Report Raghavan, Ajay

Utilities across the world are wrestling with evolving market dynamics, population growth and climate change. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as solar photovoltaics, distributed generators and energy storage systems are becoming important parts of the U.S. energy mix. These factors are driving an increasing need for low-cost grid asset monitoring. Aside from being costly, traditional utility monitoring systems are not sufficiently robust and do not provide real-time visibility into the condition of grid assets such as transformers. Lack of accurate real-time measurements on performance has resulted in the use of lagging indicators, such as oil sample analysis. To address thismore »« less
