Summary: Not enough depth, just an overview of technologies, protocol
Rating: 3
This book begins with the history of wireless communications and wireless networks. It then talks about the various wireless security threats. It follows it by describing various wireless security protocols and cryptography, which does not have any depth. All the protocols discussed can be understood by novice. He never talks about the current or future trends of these technologies. He describes about how to secure wireless devices which is really not necessary or so important. Then moving on to various voice technologies, he gives an good overview of these technologies, but never talks in detail about any one technology. If we want to learn more about these technologies we need to read another book.Same holds true for wireless data networks and security protocols. He talks about many technologies, but very little about each one of them.Not enough focus on even 1 technology, just the ABC’s. We need to read another book for more details. Never talks about the current or future trends really. He also describes some applications of wireless security protocols in the real world, which might a little helpful to feel as to how they might be used.
Overall, read this book only to know about all the technologies available and security standards at a very superficial level. Only breadth and no depth. But the book can be understood by novice,as it is presented in lucid form. Cetainly not for some one wants to really know more or dig in deep about these issues.
Summary: Comprehensive and to the point
Rating: 5
A good book if you know a specific area and want a survey of the field as a whole. After reading this book I felt ready to drill down into the details in more specialized books and papers.
Summary: Both comprehensive and readable
Rating: 5
When I wanted to expand my skills into wireless security, I bought almost every wireless book available. This is, by far, the best of the lot. If you already have a basic understanding of protocols and crypto, this book will be well worth the time.
Summary: Pollino’s done it again…
Rating: 5
Great insight on all aspects of wireless security. Written for both the novice and the professional, it was a great read…
Summary: Without equal
Rating: 5
I have done alot of research into 802.11b security and this book is a GREAT addition to my collection. Great examples, good overview and nice flow.
I’ve seen Pollino speak and this book is just like his presenations — informative and authoritative. I fully recommend it to anyone interested in wireless security.
