ZRP with WTLS Key Management Technique to Secure Transport and Network Layers in Mobile Adhoc Networks

A mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) is a self-organizing network that consists of mobile nodes that are connected through wireless media. A number of unique features, such as lack of infrastructural or central administrative supports, dynamic network topologies, open communication channels, and limited device capabilities and bandwidths, have made secure, reliable and efficient routing operations in MANET a challenging task. The ultimate goal of the security solutions for MANET is to provide security services, such as authentication, confidentiality, integrity, anonymity, and availability to mobile users. To achieve the goals, the security solution need for entire protocol stack. The primary focus of this work is to provide transport layer security for authentication, securing end-to-end communications through data encryption. It also handles delay and packet loss. The MANET transport layer protocols provide end-toend connection, reliable packet delivery, flow control and congestion control. The proposed model combines Zone Routing Protocol(ZRP) with Wireless Transport Layer Security(WTLS) provides authentication, privacy and integrity of packets in both routing and transport layers of MANET and also to defend against Denial of Service(DoS) attack.ZRP with WTLS is found to be a good security solution even with its known security problems. The simulation is done using network simulator qualnet 5.0 for different number of mobile nodes. The proposed model has shown improved results in terms of Average throughput, Average end to end delay, Average packet delivery ratio and Average jitter.

A secure energy-efficient m-banking application for mobile devices

Mobile banking is one of the emerging services in telecommunications due to the explosive increase in the number of mobile customers around the world. Solutions for mobile banking are varied, ranging from the use of Wireless Transport Layer Security, Security Socket Layer, or application-layer based options. Whereas security at the transport layer is a good choice for e-banking, using it in a mobile device presents several disadvantages such as high energy consumption. In this work, we present a secure energy-efficient m-banking solution for mobile devices. We propose an application-layer protocol whose message formats and message exchanges are designed to reduce time processing, bandwidth use, and energy consumption. Through experimentation, we demonstrate that our secure solution reduces power and energy consumption in more than 30% compared to a secure web-access from the mobile device.

Secure and efficient WTLS handshake protocol

The primary goal of Wireless Transport Layer Security(WTLS) is to provide the security of the wireless communication.An efficient WTLS handshake protocol would speed up establishing the session between the client and the server,and at the same time reduce the spending of resource on the mobile.A new WTLS handshake protocol called Light online compute WTLS(L-WTLS) was proposed.L-WTLS was much more economic since it had less computation,especially the online ones.At last,that the L-WTLS is more suitable for the low power mobile terminal is proved.

Design, Architecture and Performance Evaluation of the Wireless Transport Layer Security

Communication protocols for wireless networks have specified security layers, with high-level encryption strength. The dedicated to security layer of Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), is the Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS). In this paper, an efficient architecture for the hardware implementation of WTLS is proposed. The introduced system supports bulk encryption, authentication and data integrity. The proposed architecture operates alternatively for a set of ciphers, IDEA, DES, RSA, D.H., SHA-1 and MD5. It is based on two reconfigurable design units: the Reconfigurable Authentication Unit and the Reconfigurable Integrity Unit. These units operate alternatively for different ciphers and achieve to allocate minimized resources, at the same time. The introduced security system has been implemented in an FPGA device. The supported ciphers performance is compared with previously published works, and it has been proven superior to them, in most of the cases. The system's synthesis results prove that the proposed architecture is a flexible and powerful solution for WTLS integration of today's and future wireless networks. The system can be applied to wireless communications servers and mobile devices also. Finally, the proposed architecture can be used as a powerful security engine, in WAP communication networks, with special security demands.

Optimizing the energy consumed by secure wireless sessions: wireless transport layer security case study

In this paper we identified the various sources of energy consumption during the setup, operation and tear down of a secure wireless session by considering the wireless transport layer security protocol. Our analysis showed that data transfers during a secure wireless transaction, number and size of messages exchanged during secure session establishment and cryptographic computations used for data authentication and privacy during secure data transactions in that order are the main sources of energy consumption during a secure wireless session. We developed techniques based on information compression, session negotiation protocol optimization and hardware acceleration of crypto-mechanisms to reduce the energy consumed by a secure session. A mobile test bed was developed to verify our energy management schemes and to study the energy consumption versus security tradeoffs. Using our proposed schemes we were able to reduce the session establishment energy by more than 6. 5x and the secure data transaction energy by more than 1. 5x during data transmission and by more than 2. 5x during data reception.

Introduction to WAP’s Wireless Transport Layer Security

This chapter covers the phenomenon of Internet use disorders (IUDs) and putative associations with different neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems. Genes coding for such messengers can be seen as an important starting point in the complicated quest to understand human behavior including new phenomena such as IUDs.Therefore, a special focus of this chapter will lie on individual differences in molecular genetic underpinnings of neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems and their associations with individual differences in tendencies towards IUDs. By shedding light on these associations, putative predisposing molecular genetic factors for the emergence and maintenance of IUDs can be carved out. Therefore, first an introduction to IUDs and a model that can guide research on putative associations of IUDs with different specific neurotransmitters and neuropeptides will be presented. Subsequently, twin studies on the heritability of IUDs are reviewed. Finally, studies on differences in molecular genetic predispositions and their associations with differences in IUDs will be presented and discussed, including targets related to the dopaminergic and serotonergic system as well as the hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin. The chapter closes with a conclusion about what is already known and what needs to be investigated in future studies to gain further insights into putative associations between molecular genetic markers and IUDs.
