Preface
Recently, cybercriminal activities in wireless communications systems are growing due to the fact that more and more emerging malware programs (also known as computer viruses) are targeted on the mobile terminals. Accordingly, an increasing attention has been paid to the research of wireless security against various malicious attacks. The radio propagation inherits the broadcast nature, leading to any receivers within the coverage area of a radio transmitter being capable of overhearing the wireless transmission. This makes the wireless communication systems extremely vulnerable to the eavesdropping attack. Typically, cryptographic techniques relying on secret keys are employed for preventing an eavesdropper from interpreting the wireless transmissions. However, classic cryptographic techniques including both public-key cryptography and symmetric-key cryptography are only computationally secure and rely upon the hardness of their underlying mathematical problems. Cryptography security would be significantly compromised
