Security for Telecommunications Networks, co-written by GTISC Faculty, Patrick Traynor, has been made available by the publisher.
Description: "Telecommunications networks are a critical component of the economic and social infrastructures in which we live. Each day, well over three billion people across the globe rely upon these systems, as their primary means of connecting to the world around them. However, such systems have not received the same security focus and evaluation as IP networks such as the Internet. Security for Telecommunications Networks creates a jumping-off place for new researchers in the field of secure telecommunications networks. This volume explores known vulnerabilities, emerging threats and the open questions posited by network evolution." More information about Traynor's book.
