A Survey on Wireless Security: Technical Challenges, Recent Advances and Future Trends
This paper examines the security vulnerabilities and threats imposed by the
inherent open nature of wireless communications and to devise efficient defense
mechanisms for improving the wireless network security. We first summarize the
security requirements of wireless networks, including their authenticity,
confidentiality, integrity and availability issues. Next, a comprehensive
overview of security attacks encountered in wireless networks is presented in
view of the network protocol architecture, where the potential security threats
are discussed at each protocol layer. We also provide a survey of the existing
security protocols and algorithms that are adopted in the existing wireless
network standards, such as the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and the long-term
evolution (LTE) systems. Then, we discuss the state-of-the-art in
physical-layer security, which is an emerging technique of securing the open
communications environment against eavesdropping attacks at the physical layer.
We also introduce the family of various jamming attacks and their
counter-measures, including the constant jammer, intermittent jammer, reactive
jammer, adaptive jammer and intelligent jammer. Additionally, we discuss the
integration of physical-layer security into existing authentication and
cryptography mechanisms for further securing wireless networks. Finally, some
technical challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are
summarized and the future trends in wireless security are discussed.Comment: 36 pages. Accepted to Appear in Proceedings of the IEEE, 201
Four Jets as a Probe of O(100 GeV) Physics beyond Standard Model at Hadron Colliders
O(100 GeV) physics beyond the standard model (BSM) could be overlooked
provided that it is hidden in the untouched Higgs sector or jets. The top quark
forward-backward asymmetry measurements and di-jet bump, which is observed in
the associated production with charged lepton plus missing energy (supposed
arising from W decay), may indicate the existence of a new color-octet
axial-vector Z_C with a mass about 145 GeV. Here Z_C only decays into two jets.
In this paper we investigated the possibility to discover Z_C pair via
analyzing the four jets as the final states, which are heavily polluted by huge
QCD background. Our simulation showed that, however, both Tevatron and LHC have
the excellent chance to discover Z_C through analyzing the four jets events in
the current accumulated data.Comment: 15 pages, 11figures and 2 table
Deci-weak at Tevatron and LHC
Recently Tevatron released their measurements on invariant mass spectrum of
electron/positron, as well as the di-jet arising from WW+WZ production with one
W leptonically decay. Though the statistics is not significant, there are two
bumps around 240 GeV and 120-160 GeV respectively. We proposed that the two
bumps correspond to the extra light gauge bosons and ,
which couple with quarks with the deci-weak strength. In this brief report, we
also simulated di-jet invariant mass distribution at the current running LHC.Comment: 8 pages, 3 EPS figures, ref added, figures update
New Color-Octet Vector Boson Revisit
Motivated by CDF recent measurements on di-jet invariant mass spectrum where
di-jet is associated production with charged leptons () and missing
energy, we re-examine the previous proposed massive color-octet
axial-vector-like boson . Our simulation showed that the di-jet bump
around 120-160 GeV can be induced by with effective coupling (q represents the quark other than top and is the
strong coupling constant). Moreover our numerical investigation indicated that
the top quark forward-backward asymmetry can be reproduced without
distorting shape of differential cross section ,
provided that the and top quark coupling is appropriately chosen (). Our results also showed that the
theoretical as functions of and can be
consistent with data within and respectively.Comment: 8 pages, 3 EPS figure
