Springer Wireless Networks and Security: Issues, Challenges and Research Trends (Signals and Communication Technology)

 “Wireless Networks and Security” provides a 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. The contributions identify various vulnerabilities in the physical layer, MAC layer, network layer, transport layer, and application layer, and focus on ways of strengthening security mechanisms and services throughout the layers. This carefully edited monograph is targeting  for researchers, post-graduate students in universities, academics, and industry practitioners or professionals.   Review From the reviews:“This edited collection provides a timely summary of recent research efforts in the wireless networks area, including a broad understanding of the issues and challenges and a discussion of security. … this is a useful work for students and practitioners … .” (Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo, Computing Reviews, September, 2013) From the Back Cover  “Wireless Networks and Security” provides a 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.
