In recent years, wireless networks communication has become the fundamental basis of our work, leisure, and communication life from the early GSM mobile phones to the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE) communications. All wireless communications technologies such as Bluetooth, NFC, wireless sensors, wireless LANs, ZigBee, GSM, and others have their own challenges and security threats.

This book addresses some of these challenges focusing on the implication, impact, and mitigations of the stated issues. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of not only the technical and ethical issues presented by the use of wireless networks but also the adversarial application of wireless networks and its associated implications. The authors recommend a number of novel approaches to assist in better detecting, thwarting, and addressing wireless challenges and threats. The book also looks ahead and forecasts what attacks can be carried out in the future through the malicious use of the wireless networks if sufficient defenses are not implemented. The research contained in the book fits well into the larger body of work on various aspects of wireless networks and cyber-security.

The book provides a valuable reference for cyber-security experts, practitioners, and network security professionals, particularly those interested in the security of the various wireless networks. It is also aimed at researchers seeking to obtain a more profound knowledge in various types of wireless networks in the context of cyber-security, wireless networks, and cybercrime. Furthermore, the book is an exceptional advanced text for Ph.D. and master’s degree programs in cyber-security, network security, cyber-terrorism, and computer science who are investigating or evaluating a security of a specific wireless network. Each chapter is written by an internationally-renowned expert who has extensive experience in law enforcement, industry, or academia. Furthermore, this book blends advanced research findings with practice-based methods to provide the reader with advanced understanding and relevant skills.

The proliferation of technology is now exponential. Developments in technology, the increase in computer power and the reduction of cost, has allowed for greater accessibility, use and implementation of this technology in all sectors and industries. The evolution of smart and autonomous technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, has enabled traditionally labour intensive data analytical tasks to be conducted, quickly and efficiently. Multiple datasets and data lakes that have been siloed, are now being utilised and interconnected. Digital Twin, AI, metaverse, virtual technologies are being immersed into all sectors and more importantly merged into humans where the line between reality and virtual are seeming to be the same. However, in order to succeed utilising these amazing and emerging technologies, it means that there has to be an incredible backbone and capacity to carry data; and instantaneously delivery at high speed and securely. 5G is already in its rollout and has to achieve its objectives in order for 6G to be fully onboarded and implemented in a methodical manner.
