A timely reference that explores the topic more broadly than other books, thoroughly discussing wireless security issues from physical layer to application layer. With the introduction of third generation wireless networks, wireless LANs, Bluetooth, and sensor networks, wireless computing is expanding rapidly. However, security is a major concern for wide deployments of wireless networks. This book identifies important vulnerabilities in the physical layer, the MAC layer, the IP layer, the transport layer, and the application layer, and offers ways to strengthen security and services throughout.

A timely volume thoroughly treating wireless security issues, including discussions of issues with all the layers from physical layer to application layer, that approaches the topic more broadly than other books currently on the market

Klappentext

This timely volume, Wireless Network Security , provides broad coverage of wireless security issues including cryptographic coprocessors, encryption, authentication, key management, attacks and countermeasures, secure routing, secure medium access control, intrusion detection, epidemics, security performance analysis, security issues in applications, and much more. The contributions identify various vulnerabilities in the physical layer, MAC layer, IP layer, transport layer, and application layer, and focus on ways for strengthening security mechanisms and services throughout the layers.

The book includes 15 rigorously refereed chapters from prominent international researchers working in this subject area. The material serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking solutions to wireless and mobile security related issues.
