Investigating Spectrum Sensing Security Threats in Cognitive Radio Networks

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) technology was proposed as a solution to the challenges of overcrowding and underutilization of spectrum bands. CRN is a subset of wireless networks and as such, is susceptible to traditional wireless networks security attacks. In addition, it is also vulnerable to new security attacks such as cooperative sensing related attacks. CRN has an ability to dynamically adapt to the radio environment and thereafter make decisions to access spectrum holes opportunistically.
