Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Secure user authentication, authorization and access control have become the major challenges in any wireless security system, often due to certain wireless network characteristics such as lack of infrastructure, low power availability and mobility.
Taking advantage of such network characteristies, an attacker can launch several security attacks like Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, packet spoofing and session hijacking attacks.
Packet Level Authentication (PLA) provides an elegant network level solution to the aforementioned attacks by allowing every node in the network to validate the authenticity and integrity of a packet without any prior contact with the originator of the packet.
The cornerstone of PLA is public key cryptography based digital signature which is added to every outgoing packet by the packet originator.
Therefore, signature generation and verification schemes of PLA become infeasible in resource-constrained devices if dedicated hardware accelerator is not used.

In this thesis, we present Wireless Packet Level Authentication (WPLA) that extends PLA to offer an adaptive hop-by-hop signature verification scheme.
WPLA includes a lightweight signature verification approach for resource-constrained devices while retaining the pubic key cryptography based signature verification scheme for strong authentication.
Furthermore, to ensure end-to-end data confidentiality over the unsecured channels, we integrate a symmetric encryption scheme along with secret key generation and distribution process.
Finally, we implement the proposed solution and evaluate the performance of our implementation.
