Motion privacy: security in wireless networks today mainly addresses<br />

the protection <strong>of</strong> content <strong>and</strong> the defense from active attacks (internal or<br />

external). An insidious passive attack that has mostly passed unnoticed<br />

is the location <strong>and</strong> motion privacy attack. A mobile node may not wish<br />

others to track its location or motion. Yet, the mere use <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

popular routing protocols (e.g., AODV, OLSR, DSR etc) can easily give<br />

away all the position <strong>and</strong> motion information to a “passive” intruder<br />

which (being passive) will never be caught! This is particularly critical<br />

for covert operations in the battlefield or in urban emergencies. The key<br />

to protection is to embed security in our MANET protocols directly.<br />

The above is just a small sample <strong>of</strong> the problems that lie ahead <strong>and</strong> await you<br />

after you muster the content <strong>of</strong> this book. Enjoy the reading <strong>and</strong> be prepared<br />

for ever greater challenges.<br />
