In densely populated urban areas WiFi routers form a tightly interconnected proximity network that can be exploited as a substrate for the spreading of malware able to launch massive fraudulent attack and affect entire urban areas WiFi networks. In this paper we consider several scenarios for the deployment of malware that spreads solely over the wireless channel of major urban areas in the US....

Explosive growth of the Internet and lack of mechanisms that validate the authenticity of a packet source produced serious security and accounting issues. In this paper, we propose validating source addresses in LAN using Host Identity Protocol (HIP) deployed in a first-hop router. Compared to alternative solutions such as CGA, our approach is suitable both for IPv4 and IPv6. We have implemente...

A study by Hu et al. (2009, PNAS, 106(5)) projected that a targeted malicious attack on Wi-Fi routers could infect a region in two days. The study also argued that the use of WPA security protocol in 60-70% routers would practically prevent such epidemics. This paper revisits their model with current Wi-Fi router data from WiGLE.net and a refined data selection method. We examine the temporalit...

In this paper, a cost-efficient fault-tolerant router design, called 20-Path Router (20PR) architecture, is proposed to reduce the impacts of faulty routers for 2D-mesh based chip multiprocessor systems. The 20PR consists of two fault-tolerant circuits: 1) a Builtin Self-Test and Self-Diagnosis (BIST/SD) circuit to detect and locate faulty FIFOs and MUXs, and 2) a Fault-Isolation (FI) circuit t...

Background: Drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. We have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. In our previous studies, Klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...

Background: The use of devices emitted microwave radiation such as mobile phones, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) routers, etc. is increased rapidly. It has caused a great concern; the researchers should identify its effects on people’s health. We evaluated the protective role of Vitamin C on the metabolic and enzymatic activities of the liver after exposure to Wi-Fi routers.Material and Methods: 7...

The use of 5 GHz Wi-Fi has spread and potential effects on microorganisms human health are still under investigation. To investigate the possible for that, experiments were performed using three different microorganisms, Escherichia coli, SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells Caernohabditis elegans. maximum allowed temperature Access Point (AP) was considered in measurement setup order not to harm intern...

Internet of Things connects various physical objects and form a network to do the services for sensing things without any human intervention. They compute data, retrieve data by connections made through IoT device components such as Sensors, Protocols, Address, etc., The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used localization in outer areas roads, ground but cannot be Indoor environment. So, while...
