In the wake of the growing use of wireless communications, new types of security risks have evolved. Wireless Security covers the major topic of wireless communications with relevance both to organizations and private users. The technological background of these applications and protocols is laid out and presented in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the IEEE 802.11x-Standards that have been introduced for WLAN technology. Other technologies covered besides WLAN include: mobile phones, bluetooth and infrared. In each chapter a major part is devoted to security risks and provisions including encryption and authentication philosophies. Elaborate checklists have been provided to help IT administrators and security officers to achieve the maximum possible security in their installations, when using wireless technology. The book offers all necessary background information to this complex technological subject. It is at the same time a guideline and a working tool to implement a security strategy in organizations, assists in documenting the actual security status of existing installations, helps to avoid pitfalls, when operating in a wireless environment, and in configuring the necessary components.

A major, comprehensive professional text/reference for designing and maintaining security and reliability. From basic concepts to designing principles to deployment, all critical concepts and phases are clearly explained and presented. Includes coverage of wireless security testing techniques and prevention techniques for intrusion (attacks). An essential resource for wireless network administrators and developers.

Provides research on security issues in various wireless communications, recent advances in wireless security, the wireless security model, and future directions in wireless security.

This book describes new approaches to wireless security enabled by the recent development of new core technologies for Wi-Fi/802.11. It shows how the new approaches work and how they should be applied for maximum effect. For system administrators, product designers, or advanced home users.

This book brings together a number of papers that represent seminal contributions underlying mobile and wireless network security and privacy. It provides a foundation for implementation and standardization as well as further research. The diverse topics and protocols described in this book give the reader a good idea of the current state-of-the-art technologies in mobile and wireless network security and privacy.

The Wireless Security Handbook provides a well-rounded overview of wireless network security. It examines wireless from multiple perspectives, including those of an auditor, security architect, and hacker. This wide scope benefits anyone who has to administer, secure, hack, or conduct business on a wireless network. This text tackles wirele

This comprehensive wireless network book addresses the operational and day-to-day security management requirements of 21st century companies. Wireless networks can easily be reconfigured, are very mobile, allow for potentially nonstop exposure, and require the level of security be scrutinized even more than for wired networks. This includes inherent security flaws in various wireless architectures that result in additional risks to otherwise secure converged wired networks. An even worse scenario is one where an insecure wireless network is connected to a weakly secured or insecure wired network and the wireless subnet is not separated from the wired subnet. There are approximately a dozen popular books that cover components of the architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges, and recommended policies for wireless security, none of which address them in a practical, operationally-oriented and comprehensive way. Wireless Operational Security bridges this gap.*Presents a new "WISDOM" model for Wireless Security Infrastructures*Acts as a critical guide to implementing "Converged Networks" wired/wireless with all necessary security considerations*Rittinghouse's Cybersecurity Operations Handbook is the only security book recommended by the FCC
