This timely book provides broad coverage of security and privacy issues
in the macro and micro perspective. In macroperspective, the system and
algorithm fundamentals of next-generation wireless networks are
discussed. In micro-perspective, this book focuses on the key secure and
privacy techniques in different emerging networks from the
interconnection view of human and cyber-physical world. This book
includes 7 chapters from prominent international researchers working in
this subject area. This book serves as a useful reference for
researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking solutions to
wireless security and privacy related issues
Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have enabled the
large-scale deployment of next-generation wireless networks, and many
other wireless applications are emerging. The next generation of mobile
networks continues to transform the way people communicate and access
information. As a matter of fact, next-generation emerging networks are
exploiting their numerous applications in both military and civil
fields. For most applications, it is important to guarantee high
security of the deployed network in order to defend against attacks from
adversaries, as well as the privacy intrusion.
The key target in the development of next-generation wireless networks
is to promote the integration of the human, cyber, and physical worlds.
Previous work in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) considered the connection
between the cyber world and the physical world. In the recent studies,
human involvement brings new channels and initiatives in this
interconnection. In this integration process, security and privacy are
critical issues to many wireless network applications, and it is a
paramount concern for the growth of next-generation wireless networks.
This is due to the open nature of wireless communication and the
involvement of humans. New opportunities for tackling these security and
privacy issues in next-generation wireless networks will be achieved by
leveraging the properties of interaction among human, computers and
things.
