Abstract
As computing and networking shift from the static model of the wired Internet toward the new and exciting anytime-anywhere service model of the mobile Internet, information will be gathered by wireless devices and made available to mobile users to consume or process on-the-go. However, wireless security is often cited as a major technical barrier that must be overcome before widespread adoption of such wireless information systems to support a broad array of pervasive applications including emergency rescue and recovery, asset monitoring and tracking, mobile social networks, smart healthcare, and battlefield protection.
