Location-aware computing is a technology that uses the location
(provides granular geographical information) of people and objects
to derive contextual information. Today, one can obtain this
location information free of cost through smartphones. Smartphones
with location enabled applications have revolutionized the ways in
which people perform their activities and get benefits from the
automated services. It especially helps to get details of services
in less time; wherever the user may be and whenever they want. The
need for smartphones and location enabled applications has been
growing year after year. Nowadays no one can leave without their
phone; the phone seemingly becomes one of the parts of the human
body. The individual can now be predicted by their phone and the
identity of the phone becomes the person's identity. Though there
is a tremendous need for location-enabled applications with
smartphones, the debate on privacy and security related to location
data has also been growing. Privacy and Security Challenges in
Location Aware Computing provides the latest research on privacy
enhanced location-based applications development and exposes the
necessity of location privacy preservation, as well as issues and
challenges related to protecting the location data. It also
suggests solutions for enhancing the protection of location privacy
and therefore users' privacy as well. The chapters highlight
important topic areas such as video surveillance in human
tracking/detection, geographical information system design,
cyberspace attacks and warfare, and location aware security
systems. The culmination of these topics creates a book that is
ideal for security analysts, mobile application developers,
practitioners, academicians, students, and researchers.

The first book to combine satellite and terrestrial positioning
techniques - vital for the understanding and development of new
technologies Written and edited by leading experts in the field,
with contributors belonging to the European Commission's FP7
Network of Excellence NEWCOM++ Applications to a wide range of
fields, including sensor networks, emergency services, military
use, location-based billing, location-based advertising,
intelligent transportation, and leisure Location-aware personal
devices and location-based services have become ever more prominent
in the past few years, thanks to the significant advances in
position location technology. Sensor networks, geographic
information, emergency services, location management,
location-based billing, location-based advertising, intelligent
transportation, and leisure applications are just some of the
potential applications that can be enabled by these techniques.
Increasingly, satellite and terrestrial positioning techniques are
being combined for maximum performance; to produce the next wave of
location-based devices and services, engineers need to combine both
components. This book is the first to present a holistic view,
covering all aspects of positioning: both terrestrial and
satellite, both theory and practice, both performance bounds and
signal processing techniques. It will provide a valuable resource
for product developers and R&D engineers, allowing them to
improve existing location techniques and develop future approaches
for new systems.
RFID and Wireless Sensors using Ultra-Wideband Technology explores
how RFID-based technologies are becoming the first choice to
realize the last (wireless) link in the chain between each element
and the Internet due to their low cost and simplicity. Each day,
more and more elements are being connected to the Internet of
Things. In this book, ultra-wideband radio technology (in time
domain) is exploited to realize this wireless link. Chipless,
semi-passive and active RFID systems and wireless sensors and
prototypes are proposed in terms of reader (setup and signal
processing techniques) and tags (design, integration of sensors and
performance). The authors include comprehensive theories, proposals
of advanced techniques, and their implementation to help readers
develop time-domain ultra-wideband radio technology for a variety
of applications. This book is suitable for post-doctoral
candidates, experienced researchers, and engineers developing RFID,
tag antenna designs, chipless RFID, and sensor integration.

Chipless RFID Authentication examines the development of highly
secure product authentication systems for manufactured products by
using chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.The
absence of a chip and its compatibility with mass production make
chipless RFID an alternative to barcodes. This book discusses how,
by using natural randomness inherent to the fabrication process,
each chipless RFID tag has a unique signature that can never be
reproduced, even if someone tries to copy the label.The book first
explores the state-of-the-art of existing authentication and
anti-counterfeiting methods based on their security level. Next, a
methodology describing the characterization of chipless RFID tags
for the authentication application is presented, followed by a
discussion of the extraction of aspect-independent parameters for
chipless RFID tags. After proposing designs for the tags, the book
presents the realization and characterization of the labels (which
exhibit naturally occurring randomness) for authentication, using
printed circuit boards and inkjet printing on polyethylene
terephthalate.
