Abstract: In this paper, we present an analytical model as well as a practical mechanism to detect denial of service (DoS) attacks on secondary users in dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. In particular, we analyze primary user emulation attacks (PUEA) in cognitive radio networks without using any location information and therefore can do away with dedicated sensor networks. We present an analysis using Fenton's approximation and Wald's sequential probability ratio test (WSPRT) to detect PUEA. Simulation results demonstrate that it is possible to keep the probability of success of PUEA low, while still keeping the probability of missing the return of the primary low as well.

On the Security of Cognitive Radio Networks
TL;DR: The cognitive wiretap channel is considered and multiple antennas are proposed to secure the transmission at the physical layer, where the eavesdropper overhears the transmission from the secondary transmitter to the secondary receiver.
Mitigating primary user emulation attacks in dynamic spectrum access networks using hypothesis testing
TL;DR: It is shown that there is a range of network radii in which PUEA are most successful, and that for the same desired threshold on the probability of missing the primary, WSPRT can achieve a probability of successful P UEA 50% less than that obtained by NPCHT.
A survey of security issues in Cognitive Radio Networks
TL;DR: This paper considered the security threats from passive and active attacks in CRNs, and the PHY layer security is presented in the view of passive attacks, and it is a compelling idea of using the physical properties of the radio channel to help provide secure wireless communications.

Defense Against Primary User Emulation Attacks in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Advanced Encryption Standard
TL;DR: A reliable AES-assisted DTV scheme, in which an AES-encrypted reference signal is generated at the TV transmitter and used as the sync bits of the DTV data frames, which can be regenerated at the receiver and used to achieve accurate identification of the authorized primary users.

Cognitive radio: brain-empowered wireless communications
TL;DR: Following the discussion of interference temperature as a new metric for the quantification and management of interference, the paper addresses three fundamental cognitive tasks: radio-scene analysis, channel-state estimation and predictive modeling, and the emergent behavior of cognitive radio.
Cognitive radio: making software radios more personal
TL;DR: With RKRL, cognitive radio agents may actively manipulate the protocol stack to adapt known etiquettes to better satisfy the user's needs and transforms radio nodes from blind executors of predefined protocols to radio-domain-aware intelligent agents that search out ways to deliver the services the user wants even if that user does not know how to obtain them.
