Wireless networks are, in effect, broadcasting stations. Anyone with the proper
equipment and knowledge can have access to the contents of any computer or
server in such networks. This means the demand for truly effective security in
wireless networks is urgent and constantly increasing. In this book, Chandra
takes an integrated engineering/software approach to wireless security rather
than relying on software approaches alone. He advocates restricting the coverage
of any wireless network-through such techniques as using directional antennas
and keeping transmitter power to the absolute minimum necessary-in order to make
the network "invisible" to potential intruders. Once this is done, software
tools can be used to restrict network access to permitted users and to encrypt
data and messages exchanged within the network. The author also explores the
motivations and psychology of network intruders (especially youthful "hackers"

and how these must be kept in mind when securing a wireless network.

Finally--a single volume guide to really effective security for both voice and
data wireless networks!

More and more data and voice communications are going via wireless at some point
between the sender and intended recipient. As a result, truly "bulletproof"
wireless security is now more than a desirable feature--instead, it's a
necessity to protect essential personal and business data from hackers and
eavesdroppers.

In this handy reference, Praphul Chandra gives you the conceptual and practical
tools every RF, wireless, and network engineer needs for high-security wireless
applications. Inside this book you'll find coverage of these essential topics:

+ Cryptographic protocols used in wireless networks.
+ Key-based protocols, including key exchange and authentication techniques
+ Various types of wireless network attacks, including reflection, session
hijacks, and Fluhrer-Mantin-Shamir (FMS) attacks.
+ Encryption/decryption standards and methods.
+ Multi-layered security architectures.
+ Secure sockets layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS) protocols.
+ Cellular telephone network architectures and their vulnerabilities.
+ Modulation techniques, such as direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

And you'll also find coverage on such cutting-edge topics as security techniques
for ad hoc networks and protecting Bluetooth networks. If you're serious about
wireless security, then this title belongs on your reference bookshelf!
