The half-a-million Wireless Security Laboratory (WiSe Lab) was established using grant money from DoD ($220K), Education Department ($87K), and donation equipment and software from Agilent Technologies and other sponsors. The main goal was to address the fast-growing need to integrate effective security features, such as those well-known in computer and internet security, into wireless communications networks. The lab offers a broad range of wireless and computer security research and development, including:

New techniques of fighting interference, un-authorised access, and spoofing, in wireless communication netwroks

Security issues involved in decentralized network such as ad-hoc, or hybrid network such as collaborative network

Security weaknesses in current wireless communications networks and possible solutions

Security issues associated with computer networks and Internet, and studying cryptography as an essential technique for such environments.

How to evaluate cryptography deployment impact on current wireless network architectures to implement effective cryptography architecture.

Understanding the security concepts and techniques used for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation mobile networks.
