To Our Families
Preface
We live in an increasingly wireless world and, even though the benefits of tetherless communication are sure to attract a plethora of new applications and help bring communication to those who were never before connected to the broader world, these very same benefits can also serve as the means to cause damage upon individuals, enterprises and governments. Unlike traditional wired communication, where physically protecting the medium is, to a large part, possible by running cables underground and wires in walls, wireless communication is not able to physically protected in the conventional sense. Sure, wireless access points are placed in buildings that may be locked, or cellular basestations are protected by fences and security cameras, but the medium itself is trivially open to a broad array of threats and thus securing wireless communication necessitates a collection of tools that can suitable protect the wireless medium. This book is about security for wireless networks. However, whereas most conventional approaches to security focus on cryptographic solutions that are applied in building families of interconnected network security protocols, this book instead focuses on complementary techniques that aim to invoke unique properties of wireless communications in order to add security to wireless systems. In order to place this book in an appropriate context, it is perhaps best to think of a simple ana
