An important issue of providing secure group communications is group key management. The exclusion basis system (EBS) provides a framework for supporting group key management, especially in a large-size network. In EBS, a key server (KS) is used to generate both administration and session keys. In turn, KS uses these keys to distribute rekeying message to group members so as to keep them from eavesdropping and taping. However, the EBS system does not allow member nodes to join or leave their group. In this paper, we propose an EBS-based batch rekeying scheme which supports three operations, join, leave with collusion-resistant (L/CR), and leave with collusion-free (L/CF). To provide the join operation, KS periodically performs batch rekeying. Karnaugh map (K-map) is used in operation L/CR while the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) is applied to operation L/CF. Both backward and forward secrecies are guaranteed in the proposed scheme. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme with that of EBS in terms of three performance metrics: storage cost, computation overhead, and communication overhead. By comparison, we notice that the proposed scheme outperforms EBS in all three categories. The simulation results also indicate that the proposed scheme is more efficient and scalable than EBS.","PeriodicalId":338641,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130622552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome this critical problem by the limitation of the conventional detection and identification method based on the inter-pulse modulation characteristic such as pulse repetition interval (PRI) and frequency modulation type, a new approach introducing scan patterns of radars has been presented. The conventional researches, however, have mostly dealt with a simple scan pattern type like a circular scan. This is due to the difficulty in gathering various radar signals, even though they are essentially needed to identify lots of radar systems. Therefore it is required a solution which secures the various radar signals to trigger and advance related researches. To satisfy this need, we propose a novel radar-signal model which can generate radar signals including various scan patterns. By analyzing and considering the relationship between a shift of radar boresight by the scan pattern and parameters determining power variation, we establish the proposed model. To make the model more practical, some distortions such as noise, missing pulses, and spurious pulses are added. The validity of radar signals generated from the model is verified by analyzing their results where various radar signals of a typical radar scan pattern type are produced varying with operational parameters.","PeriodicalId":338641,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131981677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incremental improvements in both transmit and receive analog RF chains are being pursued. However, it is difficult to expect revolutionary advances in phased array SWaP using architectures based on state-of-the-art analog component efficiencies and performances. These difficulties are very pronounced for the multi-band, multi-beam applications often found in modern MILSATCOM mobile and shipboard systems such as the Army's HC-3, Navy's NMT and Integrated Topside and Air Force's FAB-T programs. Dramatic improvements in single or multi-purpose large phased array apertures require a breakthrough technology. HYPRES has been developing superconductor wideband Digital-RF technology - a disruptive technological innovation capable of enabling dramatic change in communication architectures. Impressive results through recent live demonstrations have been achieved in proving that Digital-RF technology can be practically applied to next generation communication systems.

A more practical method is to use emulation tools as they provide high-fidelity network modeling in a cost-effective manner without sacrificing realism. In this paper, we present the use of Wireless IP Scalable EmulatoR (WISER) and its capabilities for testing and evaluating two network routing agents, namely Congestion Control Agent (CCA) and Soft Handoff Agent (SHA), developed for tactical MANETs under the CERDEC PILSNER program. These two agents are integrated within the WISER framework, providing them a scalable and realistic wireless MANET testbed which otherwise was not readily available.

In PPS modulation, the information is carried in the coefficients of polynomials that modulate the phase of a carrier. Here, Space Time Code (STC) structures differ from the conventional STC design as they are designed based on the coefficients of the phase polynomials instead of the Euclidean distance of the transmitted signals. These MIMO/STC/PPS based systems offers variable rates of transmission, better performance and easier implementation than conventional formats.","PeriodicalId":338641,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2009 - 2009 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121537173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
