While security is of vital importance to ensure the integrity of communications in wireless and mobile networks, most businesses which rely on these networks expect a high level of security and privacy to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of communications among terminals, networks, applications, and services. Security, Privacy, Trust, and Resource Management in Mobile and Wireless Communications examines the current scope of theoretical and practical applications on the security of mobile and wireless communications. This book covers fundamental concepts of current issues, challenges, and solutions in wireless and mobile networks and will serve as a reference for graduate students, professors, and researchers in this emerging field.

This book provides probabilistic, deterministic and geolocation-aware approaches for adaptive connectivity, robust security and privacy-aware communications for vehicular cyber physical systems (CPS). It presents mathematical models and numerical results obtained from experiments and simulations, and a trade-off between connectivity, security and privacy for vehicular communications. Connectivity between vehicles is crucial for vehicular CPS. Intelligent vehicular CPS provides not only road safety and traffic efficiency by exchanging information among vehicles, but also offers infotainment services to passengers using a variety of wireless technologies to forward the traffic/trajectory information with Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), and Vehicle-to-Roadside-to-Vehicle (V2R2V) communications. The book covers how to ensure that the message received from other vehicles is secure and trustworthy, rather than malicious. Further, it reveals how to make sure that the privacy of participants is not revealed while validating the received message. Researchers and professionals working with vehicular networks, smart systems, cyber physical systems, and mobile privacy will find this book valuable.
