Panayiotis Kotzanikolaou · Advances in wireless technologies and telecommunication book series · 2015
The deployment of Next Generation networks such as wireless broadband networks and wireless ad hoc networks, has lead to the proliferation of new mobile, pervasive and ubiquitous services, such as online social networks, location based services or cloud computing services. These new network paradigms and services raise serious privacy concerns. This chapter reviews security and privacy issues in Next Generation (NG) networking. Intitially, a general categorization of various popular NG networks and services is presented. Then, the security and privacy threats identified for each category are examined, along with a brief review of the related security requirements and mitigation strategies described in the recent literature.
