Title :
A proposal for secure software download in SDR
Abstract :
To promote the commercial implementation of software defined radio (SDR) terminals, a secure method of download is vital. The flexibility of the system to change from one environment to the other and the possibility of changing any cryptographic component at any time is also an important issue. In this paper we are discussing three main design metrics of SDR. A proposed protocol for changing any cryptographic component is proposed
