Foreword
This book by Dr. Mauro Conti focuses on the most important security challenges for WSNs, conducts a vast literature review on security threats and the currently proposed countermeasures, and proposes several novel mitigation approaches to each of the considered attacks. Moreover, Dr. Conti provides in-depth theoretical, analytical, and experimental discussions on each of the attacks and countermeasures. In particular, a security threat might result in hazardous situation when it comes to WSNs; this is because of their inherent hardware and software limitations in applying traditional security mechanisms, and of their frequent use in countless vital applications. Over the years, I have dealt with various aspects of networks security, particularly in WSNs, together with my research group at the Dipartimento di Informatica della Sapienza Università di Roma, and with several renowned researchers all over the world. I believe that one of the main goals of adopting WSNs is to provide safety and comfort for humans. Therefore, we need to contemplate how this new technology would guarantee the goals of the designer wi
