Résumé

Protect your wireless systems from attack with this clear-cut guide on how to implement proven security methodologies

Effective security is the most important element now missing from most wireless networks. Vulnerabilities in these networks leave them open to eavesdropping, session highjacking, data alteration and manipulation, and an overall lack of privacy. This comprehensive book clearly shows you how to identify these vulnerabilities and protect yourself against them by building security into the network infrastructure and connected devices. Drawing on the latest research in the field, Vines offers a thorough examination of the fundamental concepts of security and basic computing technology. He first provides you with the necessary background on wireless and cellular technologies, looking at the various ways in which they are implemented. You.ll then learn about a wide range of security methodologies and find out how to apply them to the wireless world. Finally, you.ll confront the security challenges with wireless systems and discover all of the options available to protect your information.
