Security in Wireless Mesh Networks (Hardcover)

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) encompass a new area of technology set to play an important role in the next generation wireless mobile networks. WMN is characterized by dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, and self-healing to enable flexible integration, quick deployment, easy maintenance, low costs, high scalability, and reliable services. To achieve these aims, security mechanisms are essential to ensure trusted on-going communications.

Security in Wireless Mesh Networks explores key security challenges set in diverse scenarios, as well as emerging standards that include authentication, access control and authorization, attacks, privacy and trust, encryption, key management, identity management, DoS attacks, intrusion detection and prevention, secure routing, and security policies. The book also examines security mechanisms in IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, and IEEE 802.20 standards.  In addition, it provides numerous case studies and applications to facilitate understanding.

As a single, comprehensive guide to security-related issues in WMN, this book is an important resource to have if you are working on the design, selection, and implementation of wireless mesh networks and system components.

「無線網狀網路（WMN）」是一個新興的技術領域，將在下一代無線移動網路中扮演重要角色。WMN以動態自組織、自配置和自修復為特點，實現了靈活的整合、快速部署、易於維護、低成本、高可擴展性和可靠的服務。為了實現這些目標，安全機制是確保可信通信的關鍵。

「無線網狀網路中的安全性」探討了不同場景下的關鍵安全挑戰，以及包括身份驗證、訪問控制和授權、攻擊、隱私和信任、加密、密鑰管理、身份管理、拒絕服務攻擊、入侵檢測和預防、安全路由和安全策略在內的新興標準。本書還通過大量案例研究和應用實例來幫助讀者理解。

作為WMN安全相關問題的一本綜合指南，本書對於從事無線網狀網路和系統組件的設計、選擇和實施的人來說是一個重要的資源。
