Product Description
Review
"...serves to provide planners and researchers in both academic and professional capacities a way in which to completely access pertinent data in a logical and clearly defined manner." (Electric Review, September/October 2006)
Product Description
AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) describes a framework for intelligently controlling access to network resources, enforcing policies, and providing the information necessary to bill for services. "AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access" is an invaluable guide to the AAA concepts and framework, including its protocols Diameter and Radius. The authors give an overview of established and emerging standards for the provision of secure network access for mobile users while providing the basic design concepts and motivations."AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access": covers trust, i.e., authentication and security key management for fixed and mobile users, and various approaches to trust establishment; discusses public key infrastructures and provides practical tips on certificates management; introduces Diameter, a state-of-the-art AAA protocol designed to meet today's reliability, security and robustness requirements, and examines Diameter-Mobile IP interactions; explains RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) and its latest extensions; details EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) in-depth, giving a protocol overview, and covering EAP-XXX authentication methods as well as use of EAP in 802 networks. It also: describes IP mobility protocols including IP level mobility management, its security and optimizations, and latest IETF seamless mobility protocols; includes a chapter describing the details of Mobile IP and AAA interaction, illustrating Diameter Mobile IP applications and the process used in CDMA2000; and contains a section on security and AAA issues to support roaming, discussing a variety of options for operator co-existence, including an overview of Liberty Alliance. This text will provide researchers in academia and industry, network security engineers, managers, developers and planners, as well as graduate students, with an accessible explanation of the standards fundamental to secure mobile access.

Expensive, but worth it., 18 May 2006
By Alan Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access: Radius, Diameter, EAP, PKI and IP Mobility (Hardcover)
If you're looking for an in depth book on AAA and it's associated algorithms, there's no match for this book. Much as I wish I was wrong and that I could replace the book I borrowed from my friend with a cheaper book, I'm afraid I'm about to be forced to shell out the [...] on AAA. And I'm only going to need it as an intermittent reference. There's no math (at least no Greek), but many of the algorithms used to underpin the subject are explained concisely and clearly. It's simply well written and more informative than anything else on the market. I'm a sales engineer and this book was written on the ideal level for me. Technical enough but also abstract enough. Good work sir!

AAA and Network Security, 22 Aug 2009
By Malcolm W. Oliphant - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access: Radius, Diameter, EAP, PKI and IP Mobility (Hardcover)
Though a thorough treatment of all the relevant aspects of the advertised elements of network security, the English is bad enough to be ambiguous and distracting and many places. A recommended work if the reader is prepared to be patient and diligent with the awkward use of the English language.

Keeping Wireless Communications Secure, 22 Mar 2006
By John Matlock "Gunny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access: Radius, Diameter, EAP, PKI and IP Mobility (Hardcover)
This 'Triple A' set stands for Authentication, Authorization, Accounting, and the theme of this book is maintaining security in a wireless cell-phone network.
Authentication is a three way street. Is the device being used really the correct device to receive the service being requested? And is the network being accessed really the network you want to be on? The third type of authentication is on a message level. Is the message itself legit, or did someone, somehow get in the middle and send a bogus message?
Authorization is rather like the old 'need to know' aspect of security. Is the salesman out in the field that's calling in really authorized to get employee or financial information?
Accounting includes making sure that the client is billed the correct amount of time, but also includes such things as system usage analysis to help define capacity planning.
Each of these subjects is exhaustively treated in this book. Further they are handled with a casual writing style that makes the book more enjoyable to read than most. Well, maybe enjoyable isn't exactly the right word -- how about making it possible to get through it without falling asleep.
