This is the first self-contained text to consider security and non-cooperative behavior in wireless networks. Major networking trends are analyzed and their implications explained in terms of security and cooperation, and potential malicious and selfish misdeeds are described along with the existing and future security techniques. Fundamental questions of security including user and device identification; establishment of security association; secure and cooperative routing in multi-hop networks; fair bandwidth distribution; and privacy protection are approached from a theoretical perspective and supported by real-world examples including ad hoc, mesh, vehicular, sensor, and RFID networks. Important relationships between trust, security, and cooperation are also discussed. Contains homework problems and tutorials on cryptography and game theory. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of electrical engineering and computer science, and researchers and practitioners in the wireless industry. Lecture slides and instructor-only solutions available online (www.cambridge.org/9780521873710).

Computer users are quite familiar with computer viruses, spam e-mail, phishing attacks, and denial-of-service attacks that plague the wired Internet. Today the number of wireless devices in the world (e.g., cell phones, wireless LANs) exceeds the number of wired ones. Such networks exhibit several security weaknesses which create even more formidable challenges. Buttyan (Budapest Univ. of Technology and Economics) and Hubaux (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) analyze security and noncooperative behavior in this three-part work. Part 1 gives an introduction and background describing how wireless networks such as personal communication, vehicular, sensor, and RFID networks are secured. Part 2 discusses malicious behavior such as accessing unauthorized information or deliberately affecting the availability of the network to other users. Part 3 describes selfish behavior where a greedy user hogs shared radio-frequency spectrum at the expense of other users. Some of the specific topics addressed include cheating with identities, illegitimate access to confidential data, attacks against privacy, hogging bandwidth, and techniques to prevent malicious and selfish behavior. The authors offer both theoretical analysis and real-world examples. Homework problems are provided at the end of each chapter, making the work suitable for classroom adoption. Includes more than 400 references. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through research/faculty electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science collections. F. A.
