Security and Privacy for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

This timely book provides broad coverage of securityand privacy issues in the macro and micro perspective. In macroperspective,the system and algorithm fundamentals of next-generationwireless networks are discussed. In micro-perspective, this book focuses onthe key secure and privacy techniques in different emerging networks fromthe interconnection view of human and cyber-physical world. This bookincludes 7 chapters from prominent internationalresearchers working in this subject area. This book serves as a usefulreference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seekingsolutions to wireless security and privacy related issues Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have enabled thelarge-scale deployment of next-generation wireless networks, and manyother wireless applications are emerging. The next generation of mobilenetworks continues to transform the way people communicate and accessinformation. As a matter of fact, next-generation emerging networks areexploiting their numerous applications in both military and civil fields. Formost applications, it is important to guarantee high security of thedeployed network in order to defend against attacks from adversaries, aswell as the privacy intrusion. The key target in the development of next-generation wireless networks is to promote theintegration of the human, cyber, and physical worlds. Previous work inCyber Physical Systems (CPS) considered the connection between the cyberworld and the physical world. In the recent studies, human involvement bringsnew channels and initiatives in this interconnection. In this integration process, security and privacyare critical issues to many wireless network applications, and it is aparamount concern for the growth of next-generation wireless networks. This is due to the open nature of wireless communication and theinvolvement of humans. New opportunities fortackling these security and privacy issues in next-generation wirelessnetworks will be achieved by leveraging the properties of interaction among human,computers and things.
