Security in Fixed and Wireless Networks: An Introduction to securing data communications (Hardcover)

Description:

Our society’s increasing dependence on information technology and communication networks renders the complex topic of network security fundamentally important.

Security in Fixed and Wireless Networks is a comprehensive introduction to the principles of information security, explaining in detail how they are applied in communication networks. It will help you to understand the risks of inappropriate network security, what mechanisms and protocols can be deployed to counter these risks, and how these mechanisms and protocols work. Starting with a description of the key threats and requirements, Günter Schäfer goes on to explain the algorithmic foundations of practical security solutions and how they are incorporated into network protocols and architectures.

Security in Fixed and Wireless Networks covers:

• Fundamentals of cryptology such as symmetric/asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic check values, random number generation, and access control.
• Integration of security services, link layer security protocols, IPSec security architecture, transport layer security protocols, and Internet firewalls in detail.
• Secure wireless and mobile communications (wireless LANs - IEEE 802.11, mobile WANs - GSM, UMTS, and Mobile Internet Communications – Mobile IP).

The systematic approach of Security in Fixed and Wireless Networks ensures that graduate students of computer science, electrical engineering and telecommunications get up to speed quickly with the basics of network security. Professional Communications Engineers will also benefit from this self-contained introduction to the fundamentals of network security.

描述：
我們社會對資訊技術和通訊網絡的依賴日益增加，使得網絡安全這個複雜的主題變得至關重要。

《固定和無線網絡安全》是一本全面介紹信息安全原則的書籍，詳細解釋了這些原則如何應用於通訊網絡中。它將幫助您了解不適當網絡安全的風險，以及可以用來對抗這些風險的機制和協議，以及這些機制和協議的工作原理。從描述關鍵威脅和需求開始，Günter Schäfer進一步解釋了實際安全解決方案的算法基礎以及它們如何融入網絡協議和架構中。

《固定和無線網絡安全》涵蓋了以下內容：
- 密碼學的基礎知識，如對稱/非對稱加密、密碼檢查值、隨機數生成和訪問控制。
- 安全服務的整合，鏈路層安全協議、IPSec安全架構、傳輸層安全協議和網際網路防火牆的詳細介紹。
- 安全的無線和移動通信（無線局域網-IEEE 802.11、移動廣域網-GSM、UMTS和移動互聯網通信-Mobile IP）。

《固定和無線網絡安全》的系統化方法確保了計算機科學、電氣工程和電信專業的研究生能夠快速掌握網絡安全的基礎知識。專業的通信工程師也將從這本自成一體的網絡安全基礎知識介紹中受益。
