Book Title: Protecting Mobile Networks and Devices: Challenges and Solutions To be published by CRC Press - Taylor & Francis
Introduction: Nowadays, mobile networks and devices are developing at a rapid pace. For example, mobile phone shipments were expected to reach 1.9 billion units in 2014; a 3.1% increase from 2013. It is predicted that there will be more than 4 billion app users worldwide in 2017. With the rapid growth of mobile users, how to protect mobile networks against various attacks has become a big question. For years, security experts have predicted the rise of mobile attacks and malware. Therefore, the need for secure solutions in the mobile environment is increasing.
Objective of the book: Mobile networks and related devices (e.g., phones or tablets) are an increasingly significant target for various attacks. Thus, the aim of this book is to gather and analyze the latest attacks, solutions and trends relating to mobile security in both academia and industry. Its scope includes mobile networks, mobile phone security, and wireless security.
Recommended Topics This book welcomes chapters on a wide range of issues related to mobile networks and devices, including all aspects of attacks and solutions. Indicative topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intrusion detection and prevention schemes for mobile networks - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing and access control - Mobile authentication mechanisms - Security testing of new or existing usability features, - Agent based intrusion surveillance - Wireless Access Technologies - Multimedia security issues for tackling intruders
We welcome both surveys and technical chapters presenting novel analytical research, simulations, practical results and case studies.
Chapter Proposals/Full Chapters submission Chapter proposals and full chapters can be submitted using email attachments to editors via email (mobilenetwork.chapter@gmail.com) with the email subject of "Chapters for Protecting Mobile Networks and Devices: Challenges and Solutions". Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by around May 30, 2015, but final acceptance will still depend upon a review of the resulting chapter.
Authors should send the chapters in single column format (single spaced, 10 point Times Roman font, 8.5 x 11-inch page size). -The maximum number of pages for the proposal is 2. -The full chapter submission can have about 16 to 25 pages, but more are allowed.
