| Acronym: WITS |
| Main Objective: The WITS project is centered around the following key objectives: - Scientific goals: devise a rigorous theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating the fundamental security limits of large classes of wireless networks with multiple communicating peers and potential eavesdroppers and provide solid guidelines for the design of physical-layer based security architectures; - Technical goals: Develop secure communication protocols for medium access and networking that take advantage of security mechanisms at the physical layer in order to guarantee multi-layer security, and evaluate their impact on real-life wireless networks and protocols; - Social-economic goals: provide a technical solution for the security problem in wireless networks. Inform local companies of the potential behind physical-layer security technologies. - Education goals: attract the brightest students for a career in R&D, use the developed wireless security tools for lab training and public demonstration. |
