The existing system provides few tools in Wide-area Internet, but parties in close physical proximity may want to use a lightweight tool. Although tools for encrypted communication exist, they serve only to single out privacy-minded individuals as compared to eavesdroppers.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFirst, the thesis proposes a deniable communication system, Denali. The system leverages an observation of leveraging ubiquitous phenomenon of packet corruption in Wireless networks. The system uses off-the-shelf hardware to provide ease of use for the users.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESecond, I present deniable communication system for power-line networks called Power-line Whisperer. The system leverages the presence of physical layer noise in power-line network. The system uses software defined radios to evaluate and demonstrate a novel technique to hide transmissions in noise.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinally, instead of using computations on a processor to generate signals on the channel, I propose to sense electromagnetic interference on power-line to detect the presence of anomalous activity on processors in IoT devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Near-Field Deniable Communication"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2016-06-21 08:47:05","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:18:07","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-06-22T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-06-22T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-06-22T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-06-22 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-06-22 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-06-22 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
