From Time Synchronization to Wireless Security: An Interdisciplinary Research
For decades, time synchronization is a foundation technology for wireless networks, supporting from simple data ordering to complex network collaboration. The soaring Internet-of-Things (IoT) poses new challenges to time synchronization such as high energy efficiency, low computational complexity, and, of course, high synchronization accuracy. Surprisingly, thriving time synchronization can simultaneously facilitate wireless security. Time synchronization has been demonstrated to extract the hardware fingerprint of the crystal oscillator, thus, supporting node identification; it has also been adopted to defend against replay attacks for key generation in wireless networks. In this talk, the thriving time synchronization schemes dedicated to the new requirements will be first introduced; then the interdisciplinary research of adopting time synchronization for solving wireless security problems will be discussed.
