Security Vulnerabilities in Microprocessors

A security architecture for microprocessors

The Security Architecture for Microprocessors (SAM ) is a lightweight and high-performance combined hardand software security extension for microprocessors. SAM has been designed to provide a secure remote code execution environment. It can be used to implement effective copy-protection schemes and provides mechanisms to prevent data and algorithm disclosure. SAM provides protection even if an ...

Security vulnerabilities in IEEE 802.22

Cognitive Radio (CR) is seen as one of the enabling technologies for realizing a new spectrum access paradigm, viz. Opportunistic Spectrum Sharing (OSS). IEEE 802.22 is the world’s first wireless standard based on CR technology. It defines the air interface for a wireless regional area network (WRAN) that uses fallow segments of the licensed (incumbent) TV broadcast bands. CR technology enables...

Greatest Vulnerabilities in Data Security

IPv6 Security Vulnerabilities

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the newest version of the protocol that is used for communications on the Internet. This version has been in existence for many years. But, currently many organizations have slowed their migration to IPv6 because they realize that the security considerations and products for IPv6 might be insufficient, despite the fact that the network infrastructure is rea...

Wireless LAN Security Threats & Vulnerabilities

Wireless LANs are everywhere these days from home to large enterprise corporate networks due to the ease of installation, employee convenience, avoiding wiring cost and constant mobility support. However, the greater availability of wireless LANs means increased danger from attacks and increased challenges to an organization, IT staff and IT security professionals. This paper discusses the vari...
