Networks of wireless microsensors for monitoring physical environments have emerged as an important new application area for wireless technology. Key attributes of these new types of networked systems are the severely constrained computational and energy resources, and an ad hoc operational environment. This paper is a study of the communication security aspects of these networks. Resource limi...

The agent paradigm has been the subject of much research during the last decade. Recently, security of multiagent systems has gained increased attention. In this paper we consider the FIPA agent communication specifications from a security perspective, and outline how security functionality can be added. Keywords— security, multi-agent system, communication, FIPA.

In recent years, many security threats have entered into the organizations’ information and changed the  organizational performance resulting in their exorbitant costs. This question is of particular importanceabout government agencies that use information and Internet systems. This issue enabled the top managers of organizations to implement a security system and minimize these costs. Using In...

Secure electronic communication relies on cryptography. Even with perfect encryption, communication may be compromised without effective security protocols for key exchange, authentication, etc. We are now seeing proliferation of large secure environments characterized by high volume, encrypted traffic between principals, facilitated by Public Key Infrastructures (PKI). PKIs are dependent on se...

Among civilian communication systems, vehicular networks emerge as one of the most convincing and yet most challenging instantiations of the mobile ad hoc networking technology. Towards the deployment of vehicular communication systems, security and privacy are critical factors and significant challenges to be met. Thanks to the substantial research efforts carried out by the community so far, ...

In 2009, Chen et al. proposed a satellite communication system for mobile devices to achieve wide communication. In this scheme, there are some security loopholes that need to be fixed since the mobile device was stolen. Since a malicious attacker intercepts the mobile user’s information they can proceed with different attacks. Hence, we propose a novel scheme to improve the mobile user’s commu...

Mobile communication security techniques are employed to guard the communication between the network entities. Mobile communication cellular systems have become one of the most important communication systems in recent times and are used by millions of people around the world. Since the 1990s, considerable efforts have been taken to improve both the communication and security features of the mo...
