Security and Cooperation in Wireless Networks: Thwarting Malicious and Selfish Behavior in the Age of Ubiquitous Computing

內容描述

Description 

This is the first self-contained text to consider security and
non-cooperative behavior in wireless networks. Major networking trends are
analyzed and their implications explained in terms of security and
cooperation, and potential malicious and selfish misdeeds are described along
with the existing and future security techniques. Fundamental questions of
security including user and device identification; establishment of security
association; secure and cooperative routing in multi-hop networks; fair
bandwidth distribution; and privacy protection are approached from a
theoretical perspective and supported by real-world examples including ad hoc,
mesh, vehicular, sensor, and RFID networks. Important relationships between
trust, security, and cooperation are also discussed. Contains homework
problems and tutorials on cryptography and game theory. This text is suitable
for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of electrical engineering
and computer science, and researchers and practitioners in the wireless
industry. Lecture slides and instructor-only solutions available online
(www.cambridge.org/9780521873710).
• Covers techniques for protecting against hacking, and for cooperation in
multi-hop and ad hoc networks • Covers the fundamental issues encompassing the
full breadth of security in wireless networks • The tutorial nature of the
book makes it more user-friendly
