Abstract

Mobile security and privacy are an interrelated issue that is addressed as a whole. This chapter explores a wide range of mobile security and privacy issues that present a big picture of this broad area, and offers some insight into the fundamental security problems surrounding the design of secured mobile wireless systems and applications. It explains a security primer summarizing a set of basic network security concepts and security schemes, followed by an in-depth coverage of security issues in cellular networks, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and other emerging mobile wireless systems. A mobile wireless system must take security and privacy into account at the very beginning of the design phase and utilize appropriate security service building blocks to provide data confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and no repudiation, as well as efficient access control. Different mobile wireless systems and applications employ a set of security mechanisms at different layers, due to the intrinsic restrictions of the underlying network and mobile devices.
