Wireless Security Lessons To Learn, an interview with Tara Swaminatha on Earthweb's Datamation

Written for wireless development professionals new to security and for security professionals moving into the wireless arena, this book details the foundation upon which to design and develop secure wireless systems. The authors introduce a method for developing a security analysis process—called I-ADD—that involves four steps: (1) Identify targets and players, (2) Analyze attacks and vulnerabilities, (3) Define a strategy, and (4) Design security in from the start. The book also includes overviews of the wireless application protocol, Bluetooth, the various types of wireless devices, cryptographic methods, virtual private networks and tunneling.
