METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS SECURITY ENHANCEMENT USING MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTES MONITORING, CONTINUOUS AND INTERLEAVED AUTHENTICATION, AND SYSTEM ADAPTION

摘要

The present invention is an adaptive secure wirelesscommunications system and method. Generally, the presentinvention may be operable to address challenges and threats to asecure communication session. The secure wireless communicationsystem of the present invention may operate one or more of thefollowing: multiple physical-layer attributes monitoring;multiple parameter confidence testing related to transceiver(Tx-Rx) specific environment and transmitter receiver hardwarecharacteristics; continuous and interleaved authentication; andsecurity enhancement using dynamic adaptation of thetransmission system parameters based concurrent and/orconjugated transmission of data-carrying signal and securitycontrol information. The real-time physical-layer relatedmonitoring and interaction between transmitter and receiver,using Tx-Rx related physical environment, of the presentinvention may effectively reduce many wireless security threatsincluding interception and spoofing.
