Securing Next-Generation Wireless Networks: Challenges and Opportunities (Extended Abstract)

Abstract

This paper focuses on the security issues in next-generation wireless broadband networks. As such networks are expected to play a critical role in modern society, there is an increasing focus on their security and robustness. Such networks are expected to satisfy stringent security requirements and guarantee uninterrupted end-to-end service for diverse applications. The goal of this paper is to discuss long-term challenges in the design of such networks as well as new research opportunities in developing security mechanisms for such networks.
