In this paper, we investigate the information-theoretic secrecy of a system with multiple legitimate receivers and multiple eavesdroppers. This system is subject to the Nakagami-m fading. Unlike some existing works, we do not assume that the fading parameters are identical or integers. Although the complexity is significantly increased, we are able to derive a set of closed-form formulas for the outage probability and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity.

Over the years, system calls (syscalls) have become an increasingly popular data source for host intrusion detection systems (HIDS). This is partly due to their strong security semantic implications. As syscalls conform to a program's control-flow graph, a deviation in a syscall sequence may imply a deviation in a program's control-flow graph. This is useful for detecting the control-flow hijacking class of attacks. Additionally, malware must utilize syscalls in order to provide any utility to the attacker, with the exception of some denial-of-service attacks. Because all syscalls are observable from the kernel, this makes evasion difficult for attackers under syscall HIDS. Given their suitability for HIDS, many approaches based on syscalls have been proposed. However, the syscall datasets available are not always the most suitable for these and emerging techniques in analytics, as they may need additional structural or contextual information about syscalls in their decision engine. Furthermore, this flatness of previous datasets often pigeonholes solutions into those which are limited by that data view. It is also burdensome on the researcher to generate his own custom dataset. In this work, we propose an extensible syscall dataset generator which includes structural and limited contextual information regarding syscalls, yet allows for researchers to easily add their own features to more quickly develop and evaluate their systems. Our dataset generator can aid researchers in widening the solution space for syscall HIDS.

The goal of this paper is to expand on previously researched Eutectic Gallium-Indium (EGaIn) alloy liquid metal antennas to create an antenna that can change both polarization and frequency to meet the users needs. This concept is described through analytical models of helix antennas, simulations performed in FEKO, and measured results of a proof-of-concept dual frequency L-band GPS-focused hardware model. Although ongoing work is being performed to more efficiently feed this proof-of-concept liquid metal antenna, the overall realized gain of the helix aligned well with theoretical models.

Tactical cloudlets are forward-deployed, discoverable, virtual-machine-based servers that can be hosted on vehicles or other platforms to provide a computation offload and data staging infrastructure for mobile devices in the field. Because of the mobility of cloudlets in the field, as well as dynamic missions, a mobile user of a cloudlet might need to migrate active capabilities (computation and data) to another trusted cloudlet. A common solution for establishing trust between two nodes is to create and share credentials in advance, and then use a third-party, online trusted authority to validate the credentials of the nodes. However, the characteristics of tactical environments do not consistently provide access to that third-party authority or certificate repository because they are DIL environments (disconnected, intermittent, limited). The goal of this paper is to present a solution for secure VM migration between tactical cloudlets based on secure key generation and exchange in the field.

In this paper, the WISCA Software Defined Radio (SDR) Network platform are presented. The WISCA SDR Network provides the user with a highly configurable and flexible algorithm development platform to conduct wireless communication research. Each node in the network utilizes Ettus Research USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) technology for the radio frequency front end, along with the industry standard MATLAB algorithm development environment for baseband processing. As a result, the WISCA SDR network allows the user to develop and test new concepts quickly. It demonstrates the flexibility of this system by providing a couple of examples involving message forwarding, carrier sensing and a joint radar-communications system. To help improve and further develop the system, the WISCA SDR Network will be released as an open source project.

Traffic in military ad hoc networks are often broadcast or multicast traffic. A robust and efficient way to handle this type of traffic is the multi-point-relay (MPR) method. Furthermore, frequency spectrum is a scarce resource and must often be shared by several networks resulting in a risk for internetwork interference. The objective of this paper is to analyze the effects from internetwork interference in frequency-hopping (FH) ad hoc networks. Earlier work show that performance on a communication link can be degraded by interference between FH systems sharing the same spectrum resource. Results in this paper show that ad hoc networks are robust against FH interference in terms of a maintained high delivery ratio, but it is achieved at the cost of reduced capacity in the network. This reduction can in some scenarios be severe resulting in two networks with interference being less efficient than time-sharing between the networks.

The age of information is a measure of the freshness of continually updated information, which has been studied theoretically for a variety of queueing models. We conduct an experimental evaluation of the age of information in various emulated network settings to see how well the queue models approximate a network for the purpose of age. We use CORE and EMANE to deploy a one-dimensional multi-hop network, and a two-dimensional grid multi-hop network, and we compare to the theoretical age under the D/M/1 and D/D/1 queue models. We observe that for these regular static networks, the D/D/1 models the average age performance better than the D/M/1 in lightly loaded networks with low loss. When losses increase, the age is greater than predicted by the D/D/1 model.

As DoD SATCOM stakeholders and developers, it is vital to understand innovative technical trends and both leverage and influence them in order to best address our priorities. These SATCOM development priorities are growth, adoption of open commercial standards, systemic availability and simplification. Major innovative trends in SATCOM development are Digital IF, modem advances and geographical distribution of strategic RF entry points. Digital IF uses standards-based DSP innovation to enable highly advantageous SATCOM terminal system repartitioning. Modem innovations include updated protocols, interface reduction, all-digital implementations, tailoring of mod-cod sets, automated power and mod-cod responsive to traffic demand and link condition, and detailed attention to human factors. Geographic distribution of strategic RF entry points offers geographic diversity through terrestrial IF transport. All of these innovative trends enable growth in capabilities, bandwidth, link counts and systemic availability. All are based on open commercial standards which serve to simplify development, equipment, test processes, planning and operations. The challenge now is to leverage the progress of these trends optimally to help the DoD SATCOM user best support the warfighter. Optimal development along these trend lines, addressing the cited priorities, will be realized by greater awareness of these trends, rapid adoption of commercial offerings and adoption of open commercial standards along the lines of maximum commercial proliferation. On all counts, close collaboration between stakeholders is key to realizing the potential of these innovative trends.

Data assurance and resilience are crucial security issues in cloud-based IoT applications. With the widespread adoption of drones in IoT scenarios such as warfare, agriculture and delivery, effective solutions to protect data integrity and communications between drones and the control system have been in urgent demand to prevent potential vulnerabilities that may cause heavy losses. To secure drone communication during data collection and transmission, as well as preserve the integrity of collected data, we propose a distributed solution by utilizing blockchain technology along with the traditional cloud server. Instead of registering the drone itself to the blockchain, we anchor the hashed data records collected from drones to the blockchain network and generate a blockchain receipt for each data record stored in the cloud, reducing the burden of moving drones with the limit of battery and process capability while gaining enhanced security guarantee of the data. This paper presents the idea of securing drone data collection and communication in combination with a public blockchain for provisioning data integrity and cloud auditing. The evaluation shows that our system is a reliable and distributed system for drone data assurance and resilience with acceptable overhead and scalability for a large number of drones.
