Scope
-----
Wireless and Mobile communication networks offer organizations and users
several
benefits, such as portability, mobility and flexibility, while increasing
everyday
business productivity, and reducing installation cost. Wireless Local Area
Networks,
for instance, have been used in various environments, such as business,
home,
conference centers, airports and many more, allowing users to move from
place to
place, avoiding cabling restrictions and without being disconnected from
the network.
Ad Hoc Networks are collections of wireless computers communicating among
themselves
over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such
as base
stations or access points; these networks allow data synchronization with
network
systems and application sharing between devices. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
are autonomous
collection of mobile entities that communicate over relatively bandwidth
constrained
wireless links, establishing survivable, efficient, dynamic communication
for emergency
operations. Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks consist of a number of sensors
spread
across a geographical area, offering certain capabilities and enhancements
in
operational efficiency in civilian applications, as well as assisting in
international
effort to increase alertness to potential threats.
However, although Wireless and Mobile communication environments eliminate
many of the
problems associated with traditional wired networks, the new security and
privacy risks
introduced by such environments need to be reduced by exploiting
appropriate security
measures and safeguards, ensuring an acceptable level of overall residual
hazard.
The objectives of the SecPri_WiMob 2009 Workshop are to bring together
researchers from
research communities in Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and
Communications,
Security and Privacy, with the goal of fostering interaction
