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 Do S 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.|Security in Wireless Mesh Networks | Software Networking & Security
