Security-throughput Tradeoff with Link Adaptive Encryption Scheme

چکیده
With the ever increasing volume of information over wireless medium, security has assumed an important dimension. The security of transmitted data over a wireless channel aims at protecting the data from unauthorized intrusion. Wireless network security is achieved using cryptographic primitives. Some properties that give encryption mechanism their cryptographic strength also make them very sensitive to channel error as well. Therefore, security for data transmission over wireless channel results in throughput loss. Trade-off between security and throughput is always a major concern in wireless networks. In this paper, a Link Adaptive Encryption scheme is evaluated that adapts to channel variations and enhances the security level of WLANs without making any compromise with the network performance. Numerical results obtained through simulation are compared with the fixed block length encryption technique in two different modes of operationElectronic Code Book (ECB) & Cipher Block Chaining (CBC). Optimal block length is also computed, which is assumed to be the effective strength of the cipher. It has been observed that security attained with link adaptive scheme operating in ECB mode of cipher is a better solution for security and throughput trade-off. However, it is found that if computational security is a major concern, link adaptive scheme in CBC mode should be preferred.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Approach to Optimizing Tradeoff Between Service Performance and Security in Service-Based Systems
The message-based communication among services in Service-based Systems (SBS) is vulnerable to various security attacks and must be well protected by security mechanisms, which may affect performance due to available system resources. In this paper, an adaptive approach is presented to optimize the tradeoff between service performance and security according to SBS users’ requirements and prefer...
متن کاملThreshold Public-Key Encryption with Adaptive Security and Short Ciphertexts
Threshold public-key encryption (TPKE) allows a set of users to decrypt a ciphertext if a given threshold of authorized users cooperate. Existing TPKE schemes suffer from either long ciphertexts with size linear in the number of authorized users or can only achieve non-adaptive security. A non-adaptive attacker is assumed to disclose her target attacking set of users even before the system para...

In this paper, we model the adversary (eavesdropper) present in the wireless communication medium using probabilistic models. We precisely formulate the security-throughput optimization and derive analytical solutions. The effect of different adversary models, and single and multi-rate modulation schemes (BPSK and MQAM) are studied. Simulation results are given to show that significant throughp...
