Noureddine Boudriga - Böcker

The explosive demand for mobile communications is driving the development of wireless technology at an unprecedented pace. Unfortunately, this exceptional growth is also giving rise to a myriad of security issues at all levels—from subscriber to network operator to service provider. Providing technicians and designers with a critical and comprehensive resource, Security of Mobile Communications brings together the policies, practices, and guidelines needed to identify and address the security issues related to today’s wireless sensor networks, satellite services, mobile e-services, and inter-system roaming and interconnecting systems. It details the major mobile standards for securing mobile communications and examines the architectures able to provide data confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and privacy in various wireless environments. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for those looking to identify and ameliorate security issues. Professor Noureddine Boudriga, an internationally recognized authority, goes beyond analysis, standards, and guidelines to define the roles and responsibilities that network operators, service providers, and even customers need to fulfill to assure our mobile communications are as secure as they are prolific.

E-based systems are ubiquitous in the modern world with applications spanning e-commerce, WLANs, health care and government organisations. The secure transfer of information has therefore become a critical area of research, development, and investment. This book presents the fundamental concepts and tools of e-based security and its range of applications. The core areas of e-based security - authentication of users; system integrity; confidentiality of communication; availability of business service; and non-repudiation of transactions - are covered in detail. Throughout the book the major trends, challenges and applications of e-security are presented, with emphasis on public key infrastructure (PKI) systems, biometric-based security systems, trust management systems, and the e-service paradigm. Intrusion detection technologies, virtual private networks (VPNs), malware, and risk management are also discussed. Technically oriented with many practical examples, this book is suitable for practitioners in network security, as well as graduate students and researchers in telecommunications and computer science.

This book provides the foundation of optical network communication and optical traffic engineering while highlighting the theories behind the development of new concepts and techniques capable of providing better resource reservation and allocation. It also addresses issues related to Quality of Service provision, satisfaction management, and optical network and data protection. It discusses methods for an efficient control and planning. The book also develops optical TCP/IP networking-related theory for more effective IP traffic control and management.Developed models and techniques address, particularly, optical buffering, grooming, switching, survivability, and security. Various engineering techniques are also presented in details (along with useful examples) for traffic management, resource allocation, active component protection and network planning.Will help engineers needing to achieve optical network engineering tasks including resource allocation, QoS provision, and network planning.It is highly useful for graduate students starting their first steps in research and needing to learn a well established discipline. The book presents a formal framework allowing to show how mathematical theories can be used to provide optical communication modeling and measurable control of active optical components.Delves into the current state of the art and can be used as a handbook for different classes at the graduate level and the undergraduate level. It presents a large picture that discusses the QoS provision in general and the formal aspects allowing a good control of resources including buffering, in particular.Additionally, the book covers: the impact of quality of service requirements and does not develop the aspects related optical buffering, and planning, issues such as security, quality of service provision and the switching techniques, modeling and QoS provision.
