This book studies data and knowledge transactions in mobile environments. A range of classical notions and protocols of transaction processing are rechecked and redefined in mobile environments. A relaxed serializability and a concurrency control method for mobile transactions are investigated. In addition to data transaction, knowledge transaction is explored in mobile environments. This book presents a knowledge transaction language and a model for use in mobile computing environments, and formalizes a framework/model that can be used to study knowledge transaction in mobile logic...

In the past several years, there has been an increasing trend in the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as well as in the integration of both systems due to their complementary nature, flexible combination, and the demand for ubiquitous computing. As always, adequate security remains one of the open areas of concern before wide deployment of RFID and WSNs can be achieved. Security in RFID and Sensor Networks is the first book to offer a comprehensive discussion on the security challenges and solutions in RFID, WSNs, and...

Physical layer security has recently become an emerging technique to complement and significantly improve the communication security of wireless networks. Compared to cryptographic approaches, physical layer security is a fundamentally different paradigm where secrecy is achieved by exploiting the physical layer properties of the communication system, such as thermal noise, interference, and the time-varying nature of fading channels.
Written by pioneering researchers, Physical Layer Security in Wireless Communications supplies a systematic overview of the basic concepts, recent...
