Abstract

To protect the Underwater Wireless Networks (UWNs) from eavesdroppers, conventional wisdom is to employ encryption algorithms. In this paper, we propose an encryption-less mechanism to protect the underwater network from eavesdropping. We utilize jamming signals as a countermeasure to eavesdropping and adopt a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) communication based method to protect the intended receiver. We present the basic design of the system and a quantitative analysis on the factors affecting the performance. The preliminary results indicate that our proposed method protects the network spanning large geographic area.
