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
