This course covers security and privacy issues in wireless
networks and systems, such as cellular networks,
wireless LANs, wireless PANs, mobile ad hoc networks,
vehicular networks, satellite networks, wireless mesh
networks, sensor networks and RFID systems. Security
problems of MAC and especially upper layers
will be emphasized. Attacks and proposed solutions at
several layers, authentication, key distribution
and key management, secure routing, selfish and malicious
behaviors, and secure group communication are
analyzed for applicable wireless network types. A short
overview of cryptography and wireless networking
principles will be given at the beginning of the course.
