Security and Quality of Service in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks Mar 2008 eBook-BBL

Ensuring secure transmission and good quality of service (QoS) in ad hoc
wireless networks are key commercial concerns. Focusing on practical
potential solutions, this text covers security and QoS in these
networks. Starting with a review of the basic principles of ad hoc
wireless networking, coverage progresses to vulnerabilities, and the
requirements and solutions necessary to tackle them. QoS in relation to
ad hoc networks is covered in detail, with specific attention to
routing, QoS support in unicast communication, and recent developments
in the area. Secure routing, intrusion detection, security in WiMax
networks and trust management are also covered, the latter being based
on principles and practice of key management and authentication in
distributed networks. Representing the state-of-the-art in ad hoc
wireless network security, this book is a valuable resource for
researchers in electrical and computer engineering, as well as
practitioners in the wireless communications industry.
