Security in Network Coding
This book covers a series of security and privacy issues in network coding, and introduces three concrete mechanisms to address them. These mechanisms leverage traditional cryptographic primitives and anonymous protocols, and are redesigned to fit into th

Preface
Network coding is a new transmission paradigm proposed by Ahlswede et al. around the year 2000. It has been recognized as another breakthrough in information theory after Shannon. The key difference of network coding from traditional transmission paradigms is that in-network nodes can perform coding on packets, instead of simple store-and-forward. Benefits of network coding include higher data throughput, lower energy consumption, reduced bandwidth cost, etc. Due to these benefits, network coding has been applied to various kinds of networks, e.g., wireless mesh networks, content distribution networks, distributed storage networks, etc. However, network coding also introduces new security and privacy challenges at the same time. The most serious problem is that it makes data transmission more vulnerable to pollution attacks. A single illegal packet can end up polluting a bunch of good ones through intermediate coding, and causing severe bandwidth waste. Besides data integrity, data confidentiality and user privacy also become quite different in the new context of network coding. On the one hand, we can leverage the
