This $365,361 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports the development of a secure method for verifying message integrity in wireless relay networks. The project aims to address security risks posed by adversaries who could potentially compromise wireless relays, leading to unauthorized data modifications or injections. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:

  1. A novel approach to message authentication using non-orthogonal multiple access techniques, which involves transmitting the message through a relay while sending the authentication tag directly to the destination. This method leverages the inherent properties of wireless channels to enhance security beyond traditional cryptographic methods.

  2. A physical-layer authentication mechanism to verify message integrity when wireless channel impairments prevent tag decoding. The research will explore synergies between cryptographic and physical-layer authentication to create a comprehensive security solution.

  3. Investigations into leveraging multiple network nodes to enhance authentication precision, as well as extending physical-layer authentication to federated learning frameworks to address unique security challenges in this emerging field of distributed machine learning.

The project is led by Iowa State University of Science and Technology and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2027.
