A novel energy‐efficient cross‐application‐layer platform with QoS‐security support
Sasan Adibi · International Journal of Communication Systems · 2015
SUMMARY Security provisioning is an essential part in the design of any communication systems, which becomes more critical for wireless systems. Devising a quality of service (QoS) mechanism to coexist security algorithms is a daunting, yet inevitable task. The aim of this novel research article is to present a novel energy efficient, cross‐layer‐based application‐layer wireless system with simultaneous security and QoS supports, which revolves around the practical and low‐cost implementation of Suite‐B cryptographic algorithms (promulgated by the National Security Agency) and detailed analyses of the associated complexities. The focus of this article is on the novel cross‐layer mechanism and its effectiveness to handle QoS‐enabled treatment while offering security enhancements. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
