The research project “Design and Analysis of Physical Layer Security for the Next Generation Telecommunication Network” was completed by Dr. Path Azzami, a member of the faculty of Tarbiat Modarres University, with the support of the National Iranian Science Foundation, according to .
The project designs, optimizes and simulates a confideial telecommunication network based on practical layer security techniques (PLS) in line with the developme of the National Network of Security and Sustainable Information and aimed at enhancing the security of the fifth generation telecommunications networks and beyond (4G & Beyond).
Referring to the importance of this study, Dr. Azizi said: Developme of technologies such as machine -to -machine communication, Iernet of Things, smart cities, turns future networks io complex and dense structures that require new security methods at differe levels. In such networks, preserving the confideiality and sustainability of communication is of great importance.
He added: “Due to the nature of wireless transmission, electromagnetic waves can be exposed to unauthorized users or in some cases even damaged.” This, especially in sensitive applications such as military and industrial systems, creates additional challenges that provide effective solutions as a compleme to conveional encryption methods.
Dr. Azizami poied to similar studies in advanced couries: In the US and the United Kingdom, ceers such as the National Foundation for Science and Research of Engineering and Physics Research have conducted numerous research to promote the security of the next generation networks, which in some cases have led to laboratory implemeation.
According to the faculty member, the highlight of the project is the atteion to hardware defects, channel estimation errors, as well as realistic models of complex and multilayer networks. In this study, even situations such as conveying confideial message through unreliable iermediate nodes are considered.
In the end, he emphasized: The results of this study could be a basis for designing a national safe and sustainable information network in the coury, and in addition to applying to commercial networks such as 4G, it can also be used and localized in strategic areas, including military applications.
