Al-Bayatti, A: Security Management for Mobile Ad hoc Network

To meet the need for fast and reliable information exchange, mobile and communication networks have become an integral part of our society. Mobile Ad hoc Network of Networks (MANoN) enhances communication capabilities by providing connectivity at anytime, anywhere. MANoN are a group of large autonomous wireless nodes communicating on a peer-to-peer basis in a heterogeneous environment with no pre-defined infrastructure. Security is considered a key issue of any ad hoc application, although extensive study has been made decades ago, yet researchers are looking to solve problems with superior solutions. This book presents a novel security management system, concentrating on three essential components: Security Administration Prevention and Detection Containment and Recovery This book will also provide engineers, security administrators, and post-graduates with a framework for the , analysis and enforcement of a high level security management within MANoN simulated using Network simulator version 2 (NS-2). Features Distils a generic MANoN security architecture Realising prevention by means of defining a security access control mechanism Provide extensive list of references
