Security and Privacy in Molecular Communication and Networking: Opportunities and Challenges
Résumé
Molecular Communication (MC) is an emerging and
promising communication paradigm for several multi-disciplinary
domains like bio-medical, industry and military. Differently to the
traditional communication paradigm, the information is encoded
on the molecules, that are then used as carriers of information.
Novel approaches related to this new communication paradigm
have been proposed, mainly focusing on architectural aspects and
categorization of potential applications. So far, security and privacy
aspects related to the molecular communication systems have
not been investigated at all and represent an open question that
need to be addressed. The main motivation of this paper lies on
providing some first insights about security and privacy aspects of
MC systems, by highlighting the open issues and challenges and
above all by outlining some specific directions of potential solutions.
Existing cryptographicmethods and security approaches are
not suitable for MC systems since do not consider the pecific issues
and challenges, that need ad-hoc solutions.We will discuss directions
in terms of potential solutions by trying to highlight the
main advantages and potential drawbacks for each direction considered.
We will try to answer to the main questions: 1) why this
solution can be exploited in the MC field to safeguard the system
and its reliability? 2) which are the main issues related to the specific
approach?
