RF Fingerprints for WSN Authentication
§ RF Fingerprints
Unique characteristics of different wireless signals can be used to identify specific
nodes (the equivalent of human fingerprints for a radio signal)
Some characterization work already done by other researchers, but some problems
still need to be solved (e.g. ‘noisy’ characterization process and they have only been
studied recently for implementation in ad hoc networks)
§ Our Research Interest: What can be done and what needs to be
done to use RF Fingerprints for WSN Node Authentication?
