Abstract
This article identifies the research issues and challenges from jamming and other attacks by external sources and insiders. Based on the spirit of cyber maneuver, it proposes a general framework to deal with such issues. Central to our framework is the notion of maneuver keys as spread-spectrum keys; they supplement the higher-level network cryptographic keys and provide the means to resist and respond to external and insider attacks. The framework also includes components for attack detection, identification of compromised nodes, and group rekeying that excludes compromised nodes. At this stage, much research is still needed on the design of each component as well as integrating these components seamlessly.
