Abstract
In the interest of full disclosure, Auerbach Publications is a member of the Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
This book contains a set of self-contained articles on information assurance topics geared towards sensor networks. It is well structured. There are five distinct sections:
Attacks Encryption, authentication, and watermarking Key management Secure routing Secure aggregation, location, and cross-layer
Most of the articles could be considered as combination surveys/tutorials on specific aspects of the sections. I found the level of discussion to be very good. I consider myself as a researcher in both domains. I did not feel like I was reading the thousandth rehash of things I already knew, but neither did I think that the level of discussion was beyond what could be expected of an interested practitioner. Upper level undergraduates should be able to follow the contents of this book.
Some topics, like key management, did have several chapters with sizable overlap between them. That is about the only criticism that I can find.
This is a timely and interesting topic. While this book is not encyclopedic in scope, I think that it is very worthwhile. I also think that a large number of researchers would find at least some new ideas in this book.
