CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER

Title: Security in Wireless Mesh Networks
(to be published by Auerbach Publications, CRC Press 
http://www.crcpress.com/)

http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home5/pg01308021/SecurityWMNCFP.html

Introduction
============
Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a very new topic and believed to be a
promising technology playing an increasingly important role in the future
generation wireless mobile networks. Standard organizations are actively
calling for specifications for mesh networking, e.g. IEEE 802.11, IEEE
802.15, IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.20. Security is one of the most important
issues in WMN to ensure the trusted communications. Research efforts are in
progress to propose secure system architecture, secure protocols and secure
self-configuration. Due to the inherent characteristics of the emerging WMN,
considerable works are still needed to address the problems from different
layers of protocol stack and system implementation. The security subject is
explored with various key challenges in diverse scenarios as well as
emerging standards, including authentication, access control and
authorization, attacks, privacy and trust, encryption, key management,
identity management, DoS attacks, intrusion detection and protection, secure
routing, security standards in IEEE 802.11/IEEE 802.15/IEEE 802.16/IEEE
802.20, security policy, case studies and applications.

The primary focus of this book is the security issues introduction in WMN,
recent advances in WMN security, security model and analysis in WMN, and
future directions in WMN security. The objective of the book is to serve as
a valuable reference for undergraduate students, post-graduate students,
educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers and research strategists
in this field.
