Hello all,
When dealing with wireless communications we must protect our information by using cryptographic techniques. UWB is not different from any other wireless connection and we must take care of its security as well. There are already a bunch of cryptographic algorithms out there but which algorithm was chosen to be used with UWB ? Is it fast and secure enough ? Let's take a look at UWB Security features.
Linux-UWB Project aims to develop a complete Ultra-Wide-Band stack for Linux Kernel. They're also working on WUSB and WiNET.
Part of the code is already done and hosted in a Mercurial Tree (it should be git :-p) available in: http://bughost.org/repos.hg/uwb.hg
Anyone is invited to join this work by pointing to http://linuxuwb.org, checking out the code and looking for TODO and FIXME strings in source code.
The person who's in front of the Project is Iñaky Perez-Gonzales from Intel.
There's not much to say here about the project, all you should do now is point to their website, clone the code and start contributing.
Hi all,
Do you know what UWB means? What is that for? Have you ever heard about it?
If not, we'll study this new and quite nice communication protocol together. If you've already heard about it, it's not that bad to review some concepts, right?
In this post I'll introduce UWB protocol and on next one, talk a bit about Linux-UWB project maintained by Iñaky Perez-Gonzales from Intel. (more...)
