This book responds to the growing need to secure critical infrastructure by creating a starting place for new researchers in secure telecommunications networks. It discusses securing current and next generation telecommunications networks.

Each day, more than two billion people across the globe rely upon telecommunications networks systems as their primary means of connecting to the world around them. This book responds to the growing need to secure critical infrastructure by creating a starting place for new researchers in secure telecommunications networks. It is the first book to discuss securing current and next generation telecommunications networks by the security community. The book not only discusses emerging threats and systems vulnerability, but also presents the open questions posed by network evolution and defense mechanisms. It is designed for professionals and researchers in telecommunications. The book is also recommended as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science and electrical engineering.

First book to discuss securing current and next generation telecommunications networks by the security community Telecommunications networks are part of national critical infrastructure one of the few systems not previously subject to external security scrutiny and review
