Bluetooth Security
Christian Gehrmann, Joakim Persson
ISBN: 1580535046
November 2004

This first-of-its-kind book, from expert authors actively contributing to the evolution of Bluetooth specifications, provides an overview and detailed descriptions of all the security functions and features of this standard? latest core release. After categorizing all the security issues involved in ad hoc networking, this hands-on volume shows you how to design a highly secure Bluetooth system and implement security enhancements. The book also helps you fully understand the main security risks involved with introducing Bluetooth-based communications in your organization.

This cutting-edge resource examines all known attacks on Bluetooth security mechanisms and their implementations, demonstrating how some of these known weaknesses can be avoided with appropriate defensive measures. The book presents concrete examples of how to design security solutions for some Bluetooth applications and products built on these applications. You find real-world case studies including technical algorithms, mechanisms and protocols, and security architectures. These architectures offer valuable guidelines for use in building Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth-specific security mechanisms.

Reading a well-organized book that has structure, depth, and breadth is often the most efficient way to learn about a topic or reference a complex subject. One such publication Bulletproof Wireless Security: GSM, UMTS, 802.11, and Ad Hoc Security by Praphul Chandra is an excellent introduction to a complex subject. Targeting design engineers, this readable, 236-pages book (Newnes/Elsevier) ISBN 0-7506-7746-5) carefully explains the problems of security in various dimensions and begins to address what designers can or should do to enhance security. ]]> BULLETPROOF WIRELESS SECURITY: GSM, UMTS, 802.11, and Ad Hoc Security Praphul Chandra
ISBN: 0750677465
June 2005

It examines wireless cryptographic protocols, types of attacks, weaknesses that attacks exploit and how to defend against them, multilayered-security design and protocols, vulnerabilities, and the role of modulation techniques in security. It uses just enough theory to prepare readers but focuses on practical issues and implementations more than the often-challenging math behind message encoding and decoding for secure links.

Addressing a far different aspect of the engineering-design spectrum, Current Sources & Voltage References by Linden T Harrison thoroughly examines this small but critical area of circuit and IC design. The comprehensive book (Newnes/Elsevier) ISBN-0-7506-7752-X) covers the semiconductor physics, suitable active and passive components and their characteristics, and the circuits that designers build with them. The book dissects and models the various types of FETs, bipolar transistors, and diodes that these circuit functions use and analyzes the resultant performance. These examples use actual devices and model numbers when appropriate. Even if you are more likely to buy than build your own, the book explains what you need to look for when determining the best source or reference for your application.

Currently, there is neither a commonly-accepted definition of information systems (IS) quality nor a convergence of perspectives on quality approaches. The IS community has focused on the various contributions of people, delivery processes, development philosophies and methods. Measuring Information Systems Delivery Quality represents a spotlight on IS quality that exhibits the efforts of authors from several countries across the globe.]]> Measuring Information Systems Delivery Quality Evan Duggan , Johannes Reichgelt
ISBN: 159140858X
April 2006

Despite this diversity, this book reflects the common position that improving objective knowledge of potentially quality-enhancing methods is far more likely to assist the production of high-quality software than experimentation with each new gadget. Measuring Information Systems Delivery Quality provides thoughtful analysis and explains some of the contradictions and apparent paradoxes of the many IS quality perspectives. It offers prescriptions, grounded in research findings, syntheses of relevant, up-to-date literature, and leading IS quality practices to assist the assimilation, measurement, and management of IS quality in order to increase the odds of producing higher quality systems.
