Wireless communication is a common part of modern society, incorporated into new products and services bringing additional security risks and requirements. To meet these needs and assure quality assurance, thorough wireless security testing needs to be completed before new products or services are released. Meticulous testing is expensive, consuming resources and time. This paper presents a general method for network security analysis and experimentation that reduces time and costs. Factorial experiment design tests multiple factors in parallel, while producing robust, repeatable and statistically significant results by treating all other parameters as noise when testing first order effects. Also, second and third order effects can be analyzed with less significance. This paper presents this approach used in the experimental design and statistical analysis of a WiMAX denial of service (DoS) attack targeting bandwidth contention resolution system parameters of IEEE 802.16e. We outline how this approach can be used as a cost-effective method for network security analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
