  1. Overview of Testbed AreaPAWNS TestbedSecure Sensor MiddlewareIntegrating Policy and Group Key Management Himanshu Khurana Senior Security Engineer, NCSA

  2. Testbed Area • Goal: provide a testbed for integration, evaluation, and demonstration of technologies developed by NCASSR • Long-term Vision: a testbed integrated with NCASSR organizations’ and external testbeds for scalability testing and transfer of technology • NCSA’s globus alliance and production environment efforts • DHS/NSF Deter Testbed • NRL Protean Lab • Step-by-step approach • Provide a means for testing individual NCASSR technologies • Enhance collaboration between NCASSR and other organization projects to develop integrated technologies

  3. Y2 Testbed Projects • Five projects managed by three organizations • SABRE – PI: Ouderkirk (PNNL) • Multilevel – PI: Irvine ( NPS) • CyberCIEGE – PI: Irvine (NPS) • PKI Testbed – PI: Basney (NCSA) • PAWNS – PI: Khurana (NCSA) • PAWNS: A testbed for Programming Applications for a Wireless Network of (motes-based) Sensors • Team Members: Himanshu Khurana, Peter Bajcsy, Rakesh Bobba, David Scherba • Goal: Integrate, evaluate and demonstrate • Hazard Awareness using sensors (PI: Bajcsy) • Security services for sensor networks (PI: Khurana)

  4. PAWNS/Hazard Awareness/Secure Sensor Middleware • Technology Components • Hazard Awareness and Response • Deploy Point Sensors (“smart” motes) Using Robot Control • Calibrate Spectral Cameras and Point Sensors • Proactive Camera Control Using Point Sensors • Hazard Analysis and Human Alert • Hazard Confirmation and Elimination Using Robot Control • Security and Reliability over multi-hop sensor networks • Encrypt data between sensors and base station • Key Management using Smart Dust, Public-Key and Random Graph techniques • Tinysec link-layer encryption with Skipjack • Reliability transfer of messages • Link-level retransmission, erasure codes

  5. Experimental Setup and Hazard Simulation * * Slide provided by Peter Bajcsy

  6. Proactive Camera Control and Hazard Alert and Elimination * • Proactive Camera Control Logic: • If light = on then visible camera = on • If light = off then thermal IR camera = on • Based on image analysis re-direct human attention to hazardous situation * Slide provided by Peter Bajcsy

  7. Integrating Policy and Group Key Mgmt • Research Area: Secure Group Communication (SGC) • GCSs enable collaborative applications such as C&C and conferencing • Need for scalable security and multicast services • Problems • Scalable Group Key Management approaches require Group Controllers to bear significant trust liabilities • Lack of tools to evaluate efficacy of key mgmt techniques • Policy and key mgmt are both necessary to enable SGC but have not been integrated • Goals/Approach • Develop new key mgmt solutions that minimize trust liability in group controllers • Implement SGC framework based on IETF MSEC WG Security Architecture specification • Evaluate key mgmt solution in framework • Framework integrates policy and key mgmt • Team Members • Himanshu Khurana, Luke St. Clair, Neelay Shah

  8. Minimizing Trust Liability in GC • Previous scalable key mgmt schemes use a trusted GC • GC organizes long-term member (symmetric) keys in a tree to enable O(log n) scalability • If GC is compromised, adversary gets access to data and key encryption keys and makes recovery costly • Our solution (TASK) using proxy cryptography so that GC does not have access to data and key encrypting keys • GC organizes shares of member (asymmetric) keys in a tree, uses shares to transform messages between members, enables O(log n) scalability • If GC is compromised, adversary only gets shares which can be refreshed easily for quick and cheap recovery • Publication • Himanshu Khurana, Rafael Bonilla, Adam Slagell, Raja Afandi, Hyung-Seok Hahm, and Jim Basney. Scalable Group Key Management with Partially Trusted Controllers. To appear in the International Conference on Networking, Reunion Island, April 2005
