Download or read book Secure Localization and Time Synchronization for Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks written by Radha Poovendran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest research results in the area of secure localization for both wireless mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks. It is suitable as a text for computer science courses in wireless systems and security. It includes implementation studies with mica2 mote sensors. Due to the open spectrum nature of wireless communication, it is subject to attacks and intrusions. Hence the wireless network synchronization needs to be both robust and secure. Furthermore, issues such as energy constraints and mobility make the localization process even more challenging. The book will also interest developers of secure wireless systems.
