It begins with coverage of the basic security concepts and fundamentals which underpin and provide the knowledge necessary for understanding and evaluating security issues, challenges, and solutions. This material will be of invaluable use to all those working in the network security field, and especially to the many people entering the field. The next area of focus is on the security issues and available solutions associated with off-the-shelf wireless and mobile technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, WiMax, 2G, and 3G. There is coverage of the security techniques used to protect applications downloaded by mobile terminals through mobile cellular networks, and finally the book addresses security issues and solutions in emerging wireless and mobile technologies such as ad hoc and sensor networks, cellular 4G and IMS networks. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

The editors give an indepth coverage of recent work in the security of a wireless network, where the nodes might be mobile. The network might be using Bluetooth, WiMax or other protocols. The treatment is moderately mathematical, but attention is paid by the authors of the chapters to summarising clearly the motivating ideas of many algorithms. Unsurprisingly, existing mobile telecom networks get much space in the book, because of the sheer size [billions of cellphones worldwide] of their deployments.
The important special case of Wireless Sensor Networks is described in several chapters. Such networks are characterised by low energy levels. The nodes might be deployed by the military, to surveil a hostile territory. The low energy of the node battery means that intensive computations are not practical. Thus cryptography is restricted to symmetric methods, entirely obviating PKI. The nodes also have small memory. These are hard factors when considered in their totality. So problems like trying to detect compromised nodes in a WSN are exceedingly nontrivial. Yet as the text makes clear, several researchers have looked hard at this, and come up with several possibilities to have a WSN against attack.
