Reader Reviews
In contrast to many books available on wireless security that address mostly GSM, WLAN, and Bluetooth security, this book targets a different audience. It is an excellent survey on the ongoing security research for wireless ad-hoc networks. The previously mentioned technologies are briefly covered in the introduction, then the book discusses future forms of wireless networks that are formed spontaneously, forward traffic in a multi-hop manner, etc. As such networks have very different trust assumptions and adversary models, naturally, the security solutions differ and this is why a very active research community has created a lot of interesting security solutions. This book is a must read for everyone who has started exploring the world of MANETs, Mesh Networks, Vehicular Networks, etc. and wonders how to provide security and prevent selfish behavior in these networks. It will safe its readers hours of literature review as the presented material has previously been cluttered over tons of conference proceedings or journal articles. The book also makes an excellent addition for any graduate class on this subject, especially as the authors provide presentation materials on the accompanying website. Last but not least, the authors are among the leading experts in this field, so they know what they are talking about. A definitive plus not found in every book ;-)
