Cyber/PHYsecurity

We focus on leveraging advanced technologies and UAV-assisted communication to overcome challenges in next-generation wireless networks. Our research addresses issues like eavesdropping, injecting false information, and RIS malfunctions. By integrating optimization techniques and deep neural networks, we enhance the security and efficiency of these systems. Additionally, we address practical concerns such as the lack of standardized protocols, authentication, and security updates, which are critical in environments ranging from smart cities to autonomous systems. We demonstrate improved signal integrity and robustness against physical and network-level attacks through rigorous analysis and simulation.
