Abstract
In this paper, we study the security vulnerabilities a CoopMAC faces and authentication mechanisms suitable for cooperative networks to be achieved. We identify various security attacks against control packets of CoopMAC and security vulnerabilities caused by these attacks, and discuss channel-based non-cryptographic mechanisms for user authentication in CoopMAC using physical layer characteristics.
