This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information security has always been a critical concern for wireless communications due to the broadcast nature of the open wireless medium. Commonly, security relies on cryptographic encryption techniques at higher layers to ensure information security. However, traditional cryptographic methods may be inadequate or inappropriate due to novel improvements in the computational power of devices and optimization approaches. Therefore, supplementary techniques are required to secure the transmission data. Physical layer security (PLS) can improve the security of wireless communications by exploiting the characteristics of wireless channels. Therefore, we study the PLS performance in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks enabling technologies in this thesis. The thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part, the PLS design and analysis for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is carried out for several scenarios. More specifically, in this part, we study the underlay relay-aided D2D communications to improve the PLS of the cellular network. We propose a cooperative scheme, whereby the D2D pair, in return for being allowed to share the spectrum band of the cellular network, serves as a friendly jammer using full-duplex (FD) and half-duplex (HD) transmissions and relay selection to degrade the wiretapped signal at an eavesdropper. This part aims to show that spectrum sharing is advantageous for both D2D communications and cellular networks concerning reliability and robustness for the former and PLS enhancement for the latter. Closed-form expressions for the D2D outage probability, the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity (PNSC) are derived to assess the proposed cooperative system model. The results show enhancing the robustness and reliability of D2D communication while simultaneously improving the cellular network's PLS by generating jamming signals towards the eavesdropper. Furthermore, intensive Monte-Carlo simulations and numerical results are provided to verify the efficiency of the proposed schemes and validate the derived expressions' accuracy. In the second part, we consider a secure underlay cognitive radio (CR) network in the presence of a primary passive eavesdropper. Herein, a secondary multi-antenna full-duplex destination node acts as a jammer to the primary eavesdropper to improve the PLS of the primary network. In return for this favor, the energy-constrained secondary source gets access to the primary network to transmit its information so long as the interference to the latter is below a certain level. As revealed in our analysis and simulation, the reliability and robustness of the CR network are improved, while the security level of the primary network is enhanced concurrently. Finally, we investigate the PLS design and analysis of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided wireless communication systems in an inband underlay D2D communication and the CR network. An RIS is used to adjust its reflecting elements to enhance the data transmission while improving the PLS concurrently. Furthermore, we investigate the design of active elements in RIS to overcome the double-fading problem introduced in the RISaided link in a wireless communications system. Towards this end, each active RIS element amplifies the reflected incident signal rather than only reflecting it as done in passive RIS modules. As revealed in our analysis and simulation, the use of active elements leads to a drastic reduction in the size of RIS to achieve a given performance level. Furthermore, a practical design for active RIS is proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without any doubt, wireless infrastructures and services have fundamental impacts on every aspect of our lives. Despite of their popularities, wireless communications are vulnerable to various attacks due to the open nature of radio propagation. In fact, communication security in wireless networks is becoming more critical than ever. As a solution, conventional cryptographic techniques are deployed on upper layers of network protocols. Along with direct attacks from lower layer, wireless security challenges come with the rapid evolution of sophisticated decipher techniques. Conventional security mechanisms are not necessarily effective against potential attacks from the open wireless environment anymore. As an alternative, physical-layer(PHY) security, utilizing unique features from lower layer, becomes a new research focus for many wireless communication systems. In this thesis, three mechanisms for PHY security enhancement are investigated. Beginning with a discussion on the security vulnerability in highly standardized infrastructures, the thesis proposed a time domain scrambling scheme of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system to improve the PHY security. The method relies on secretly scrambling each OFDM symbol in time domain, resulting in constellation transformation in frequency domain, to hide transmission features. As a complement to existing secrecy capacity maximization based optimal cooperative jamming systems, a security strategy based on the compromised secrecy region (CSR) minimization in cooperative jamming is then proposed when instantaneous channel state information(CSI) is not available. The optimal parameters of the jammer are derived to minimize the CSR which exhibits high secrecy outage probability. At last, security enhancement of OFDM system in cooperative networks is also investigated. The function selection strategies of cooperative nodes are studied. Our approach is capable of enhancing the security of broadband communications by selecting the proper function of each cooperative node. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of three proposed physical layer security mechanisms by examining the communication reliability, achievable CSR and secrecy capacity respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the tremendous advancement in the semiconductor and microelectronics technologies, wireless technologies have blossomed in the recent decades. The large scale deployment of wireless networks have revolutionized the way people live. They bring a great deal of convenience and enjoyment to us. Undoubtedly, we have become more and more dependent on these wireless technologies. These include cellular and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. However, with great technologies also come great risks and threats. Unlike wired transmissions, the nature of wireless transmissions result in the transmitted signals over the channel can be easily intercepted and eavesdropped by malicious adversaries. Therefore, security and privacy of the employed wireless communication system are easily compromised compared to the wired communication system. Consequently, securing wireless network has attracted a lot of attention in the recent years and it has huge practical implications. Securing wireless networks can be and indeed are performed at all layers of a network protocol stack. These include application, network, data link and physical (PHY) layers. The primary focus of our research is on the PHY layer approaches for securing and attacking wireless networks. In this thesis, we identify three research topics and present our results. They are: 1) PHY layer phase encryption (P-Enc) vs XOR encryption (XOR-Enc); 2) PHY layer signaling scheme to ensure the confidentiality of the transmitted messages from the tag to the reader in RFID systems. 3) Active eavesdropping attack framework under frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) RFID systems. In the first work, we introduce a new OFDM encryption scheme which we call OFDM-Enc, different from convectional XOR-Enc, OFDM-Enc encrypts data by multiplying each of in-phase and quadrature component of the time domain OFDM symbol by a keystream bit. We then perform an initial investigation on the security of OFDM-Enc. We show it is secure against all attacks that are considered in this work. Moreover, depending on the modulation type, OFDM would potentially reduce the keystream size required for encryption, while still achieving the required security level. We also conduct simulations to compare OFDM-Enc with conventional XOR-Enc. We show indeed OFDM-Enc is viable and can achieve good performances. Then we extend OFDM-Enc to general communication systems. Since the encryption is essentially done by changing the phase of the data constellations, we just adopt the term P-Enc. In addition, we form mathematical formulations in order to compare between P-Enc and XOR-Enc in terms of efficiency, security and hardware complexity. Furthermore, we show P-Enc at the PHY layer can prevent traffic analysis attack, which cannot be prevented with the upper layer encryptions. Finally, simulations are conducted again to compare the performance of P-Enc and XOR-Enc. In the second work, we are interested in protecting tag's data from leaking or being compromised to malicious adversaries. As discussed earlier, due to the nature of wireless channels, communications between the tag and the reader is susceptible to eavesdropping. The conventional method uses encryption for confidentiality protection of transmitted messages. However, this requires to pre-share keys between the reader and the tag. As a result, a key management and distribution system needs to be put in place. This introduces heavy system overhead. In this work, we first propose a new PHY layer RFID privacy protection method which requires no pre-shared keys and would achieve the same goal. We also perform theoretical analysis to first validate of our proposed scheme. Finally, we conduct experiments to further verify the feasibility our proposed scheme under the passive eavesdropping attack model. In the third work, we present a new attack on the FHSS RFID system called active eavesdropping attack. In most semi-passive and passive RFID systems, tag to reader communications are accomplished via backscattering modulation. This implies the tag is not required to identify the frequency of the legitimate reader's transmitted signal, it simply responds to a reader's query by setting its impedance in the circuitry to low and high to represent bit 1 and 0. The attacker exploits this design weakness of the tag and broadcasts his own continuous wave (CW) at a different frequency. Consequently, the eavesdropper receives two copies of responses: one from his own broadcasted CW and one from reader's CW. We perform theoretical analysis to show the optimal strategy for the attacker in terms of the decoding error probability. Finally, we conduct simulations and experiments to verify with our theoretical results.
