NEWCOM++ DRA.3: Final report about security in wireless networks

• The report deals with advanced schemes for Wireless Secrecy and Security evaluation tools developed within the framework of Newcom++. As far as wireless secrecy is concerned, different cases are treated, namely the multi-antenna fading case, the frequency selective channel case (with OFDM modulation) and the the relay channel case. Besides the major information theoretic consideration related to capacity issues, physical layer coding, Secure Lossy Source Coding as well as classical precoding (through beamforming) schemes are analyzed. The second part of the report is dedicated to security evaluation tools and provides a framework for a formal reasoning and description of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Some input models for the design and evaluation of WSN security are provided, especially for 6LoWPAN Networks. The report finishes with an important contribution related to a Penetration Testing tool developed for 6LoWPAN
