Introduction
For release in the Advances in Information Security, Privacy, and Ethics (AISPE) Book Series.

ISSN: 1948-9730

The Advances in Information Security, Privacy, & Ethics (AISPE) Book Series is the source for this research, as the series provides only the most cutting-edge research on how information is utilized in the digital age.

Rapid advances in wireless communications and networking technologies are gradually making the dream of ubiquitous high-speed network access a reality. Next Generation Wireless Networks including communication networks Next Generation Networks (NGN), 3G, 4G, Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wireless LANs, PANs, WiMax, ad hoc networks, Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Unlike the wired networks, the unique characteristics of wireless networks pose a number of nontrivial challenges to security design, such as open peer-to-peer network architecture, shared wireless medium, stringent resource constraints, highly dynamic network topology, and absence of a trusted infrastructure. Ubiquitous roaming impacts on a radio access system by requiring that it supports handover between neighboring cells and different networks. Also, mobile networks are more exposed to interferences than wired networks. Such ubiquitous network access allows vandals and criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in networked systems on a widespread basis. This situation makes security and privacy designs for emerging wireless networks both critical and challenging. Security mechanism in wireless networks are indispensable to secure access control, authentication, authorization, confidentiality, data security, user confidentiality, quality of service and quality of experience for users. As a result, today research empowered towards wireless networks preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time.



Objective
This book looks to discuss research focuses on Next Generation Wireless Network security including network security, cryptography, user authentication, various types of attacks & their counter measures, secure routing algorithm, intrusion detection, security algorithms, performance analysis of various tools and proposed techniques, security issues, privacy management, smart phone application security, and key management.
