Wireless Security and Privacy


Book Description

Before wireless commerce, or even wireless access to the corporate network can really take off, organizations are going to have to improve their efforts in wireless security. Wireless Security and Privacy presents a complete methodology for security professionals and wireless developers to coordinate their efforts, establish wireless security best practices, and establish security measures that keep pace with development. The material shows how to develop a risk model, and shows how to implement it through the lifecycle of a system. Coverage includes the essentials on cryptography and privacy issues. In order to design appropriate security applications, the authors teach the limitations inherent in wireless devices as well as best methods for developing secure software for them. The authors combine the right amount of technological background in conjunction with a defined process for assessing wireless security.
