Physical Layer Authentication Enhancement Using a Gaussian Mixture Model

Wireless networks strive to integrate information technology into every corner of the world.This openness of radio propagation is one reason why holistic wireless security mechanisms only rarely enter the picture.In this paper, we propose a physical (PHY)-layer security authentication scheme that takes advantage of channel randomness to detect spoofing attacks in wireless networks.

Unlike most existing authentication techniques that rely on comparing message information between the legitimate user and potential spoofer, our proposed authentication dea eyewear scheme uses a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to detect spoofing attackers.Probabilistic models of different transmitters are used to cluster messages.Furthermore, a 2-D feature measure space is exploited to preprocess the channel information.

Training data for a spoofer operating through an unknown channel, a pseudo adversary model is developed to enhance synovex one grass the spoofing detection performance.Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the detection performance of the GMM-based PHY-layer authentication scheme.The results show that the probability of detecting a spoofer is higher than that obtained using similar approaches.
