Abstract

Networking provides the main infrastructure for different recent applications. These applications are targets for various types of attacks. This research mainly focuses on evaluating the techniques used within cognitive system specifically CRN to ensure the security of the data as well as securing the communication. This will include the development of safety technologies in wireless communication in CRNs and also within wired exchanges in the core network. The study will also incorporate security mechanisms into cognitive network fundamentals as well as designing of monitoring framework (Spec Monitor) to monitor the system and detect malicious and abnormal behaviors. The research will evaluate security development techniques such as spectrum sensing in the cognitive network and non-parametric passive traffic monitoring in cognitive systems. A detailed technique is proposed to overcome the increasing complexity threats in Cognitive networks. The major focus of this technique is on host based approach and network based approach. Henceforth, there has been a comparative study on various attributes of information security.
