Wireless physical layer (PHY) security has attracted much attention due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and its inherent vulnerability to eavesdropping, jamming, and interference. Physical Layer Security for Wireless Sensing and Communication covers both communication and sensing security from a broad perspective. The main emphasis is on PHY security, although other security measures are covered for the sake of completeness and as a step towards cross-layer security and cognitive security vision. After discussing the features of wireless channels from both the communication and sensing perspectives, the book details their exploitation for secure transmission utilizing various approaches. Wireless sensing and radio environment concepts are also addressed, along with the related security implications in terms of eavesdropping, disruption, manipulation, and, in general, the exploitation of wireless sensing by unauthorised users. Several solutions for these threats from the domains of wireless communication, military radars, and machine learning, are discussed. The book provides valuable information to researchers in academia and industry, as well as engineers, developers, and advanced students in the field of cybersecurity.

RFID is a method of remotely storing and receiving data using devices called RFID tags. RFID tags can be small adhesive stickers containing antennas that receive and respond to transmissions from RFID transmitters. RFID tags are used to identify and track everything from Exxon EZ pass to dogs to beer kegs to library books.
Major companies and countries around the world are adopting or considering whether to adopt RFID technologies. Visa and Wells Fargo are currently running tests with RFID, airports around the world are using RFID to track cargo and run customs departments, universities such as Slippery Rock are providing RFID-enabled cell phones for students to use for campus charges. According to the July 9 CNET article, RFID Tags: Big Brother in Small Packages?, "You should become familiar with RFID technology because you'll be hearing much more about it soon. Retailers adore the concept, and CNET News.com's own Alorie Gilbert wrote last week about how Wal-Mart and the U.K.-based grocery chain Tesco are starting to install "smart shelves" with networked RFID readers. In what will become the largest test of the technology, consumer goods giant Gillette recently said it would purchase 500 million RFID tags from Alien Technology of Morgan Hill, CA."
