Advanced Wireless Networking and Security

Provides advanced coverage of wireless networks and the special security problems they pose. Topics include measures taken to secure wireless personal area networks (PANs), wireless LANs, cellular wireless networks, and ad-hoc wireless networks. Threats, vulnerabilities and countermeasures specific to each type of network will be enumerated and studied in detail. Coverage includes the use of cryptography and cryptographic primitives in secure protocols, wireless device security, and security policy management. The treatment of ad-hoc wireless network security will cover secure routing protocols and intrusion detection systems.
