Security for Multi-hop Wireless NetworksIntroduction

Security for Multi-hop Wireless Networks: Introduction [In multi-hop wireless networks (MWNs), when a mobile node needs to communicate with a remote destination, it relies on the other nodes to relay its packets. MWNs can enable new applications and enhance the network performance. However, the involvement of autonomous and self-interested nodes in packet relaying makes MWNs vulnerable to serious security vulnerabilities that may hinder their practical implementation. In this chapter, we first discuss the main security issues that threaten the MWNs. Then, we discuss the motivations for this work and also the main challenges to secure the network. Finally, we give an overview on our proposals to secure the network.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In multi-hop wireless networks (MWNs), when a mobile node needs to communicate with a remote destination, it relies on the other nodes to relay its packets. MWNs can enable new applications and enhance the network performance. However, the involvement of autonomous and self-interested nodes in packet relaying makes MWNs vulnerable to serious security vulnerabilities that may hinder their practical implementation. In this chapter, we first discuss the main security issues that threaten the MWNs. Then, we discuss the motivations for this work and also the main challenges to secure the network. Finally, we give an overview on our proposals to secure the network.]
