“…The focus of the paper is on sender authentication utilizing asymmetric encryption with a one-way hash function to compute the public and private keys. (Kadhim & Sadkhan, 2021) presented that due to the broadcast nature of radio transmission, the wireless air interface is open and available to both authorized and illegal users. In a wired network, communication devices are interconnected together, thereby making it difficult for a station without a direct link to access the network for nefarious purposes.…”

Sensitive data is constantly being transmitted particularly over wireless communication systems due to how convenient this wireless communication systems are. However, these communication systems are generally weak in terms of privacy protection and security as a whole. This is because anyone within the perimeter of a wireless network can attempt hacking into the network without physically connecting to it. This paper will focus on the two most common data security techniques in wireless communication systems – steganography and cryptography. Steganography is the practice of hiding information in another message or physical item such that its presence cannot be detected by human examination. Cryptography on the other hand is the science of encrypting information in a way that unintended recipients cannot interpret and then decrypting the said message back into plaintext. Keywords: Cryptography, Data Encryption, Data Decryption, Steganography, Wireless Communication

“…Availability attacks are a form of DoS attack which attempts to disable access to the network using several types of MAC frames, such as de-authentication and de-association frames [14,15]. Wireless networks and technologies are generally more vulnerable to DoS attacks than wired alternatives [16].…”

IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi networks are prone to many denial of service (DoS) attacks due to vulnerabilities at the media access control (MAC) layer of the 802.11 protocol. Due to the data transmission nature of the wireless local area network (WLAN) through radio waves, its communication is exposed to the possibility of being attacked by illegitimate users. Moreover, the security design of the wireless structure is vulnerable to versatile attacks. For example, the attacker can imitate genuine features, rendering classificationbased methods inaccurate in differentiating between real and false messages. Although many security standards have been proposed over the last decades to overcome many wireless network attacks, effectively detecting such attacks is crucial in today's real-world applications. This paper presents a novel resource exhaustion attack detection scheme (READS) to detect resource exhaustion attacks effectively. The proposed scheme can differentiate between the genuine and fake management frames in the early stages of the attack such that access points can effectively mitigate the consequences of the attack. The scheme is built through learning from clustered samples using artificial neural networks to identify the genuine and rogue resource exhaustion management frames effectively and efficiently in the WLAN. The proposed scheme consists of four modules which make it capable to alleviates the attack impact more effectively than the related work. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique by gaining an 89.11% improvement compared to the existing works in terms of detection.

“…Wireless communication is one of the most vibrant fields of research interest in the communication niche. The rise in the deployment of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been attributed to its support for mobility and simplicity of deployment over a large distance compared to wired systems 1 . The wiring of all paths poses an additional cost for cabling plan changes 2 .…”

“…However, all these remote functionalities have severe consequences to human safety, especially from malicious intrusion and confidentiality challenges 3 . The open nature of the wireless communication channels has made them more accessible to various attacks and security issues despite the benefits posed to human lives 1 . For instance, hackers can now successfully infringe on the privacy of cellphone users and track users unguardedly, passively or actively.…”

The broadcast nature of radio propagation in wireless communication has been suspected as the loopholes of passive or active attacks by unauthorized users (eavesdroppers). The physical layer security techniques operate at the lowest stack of OSI layer against conventional cryptographic approaches, operating at the upper layer. However, techniques such as channel coding, power (directional antenna and artificial noise), and spread spectrum have been (and continuously) deployed to safeguard against sophisticated attacks. Most of these deployments are theoretical, and a few are enhanced for efficient security against an intruder.In this article, a boundary technique approach is proposed and applied to the physical layer to improve its secrecy-capacity and subdue adversary effects at the legitimate receiver. Hybrid performance metrics were adopted, and a Monte Carlo simulation was performed. The result obtained using secrecy outage probability, secrecy-capacity, and intercept-probability show that our proposed techniques enhance the secret transmission between the main transmitter and legitimate receiver. The simulation results were compared with the analytical methods. It was found that the channel between the transmitter and the main receiver has a better signal-to-noise ratio than the corresponding eavesdropper's channel. Conclusively, performance of the proposed technique is validated for applications in emerging wireless communication systems.
