In this paper the authors propose a Secure Mobile Payment Framework in Multi hop Cellular Network environment (which is an integration of cellular networks and mobile ad hoc networks) using Mobile Agent technology and Digital Signature with Message Recovery (DSMR) mechanism based on ECDSA mechanism. Secure communication in Multi hop Cellular Networks is a nontrivial task because of lack of infrastructure, no prior trust relationships among nodes due to the absence of a centralized authority. Mobile Agent technology and Digital Signature with Message Recovery based on ECDSA mechanism provides secure mobile payments in Multi hop Cellular Networks. Mobile Agent technology has many benefits such as bandwidth conservation, reduction of latency, reduction of completion time, Asynchronous (disconnected) communications. Digital Signature with Message Recovery based on ECDSA eliminates the need of adopting PKI cryptosystems. The proposed protocol ensures Authentication, Integrity, Confidentiality and Non Repudiation, achieves Identity protection from merchant and Eavesdropper, achieves Transaction privacy from Eavesdropper and Payment Gateway, achieves Payment Secrecy, Order Secrecy, forward secrecy, prevents Double Spending, Overspending and Money laundering. The security properties of the proposed protocol have been verified successfully using BAN Logic, AVISPA and Scyther Tools and presented with results.

In this chapter, the authors propose a secure payment framework in mobile ad hoc network for disaster areas. In order to enable transactions in a disaster area using existing payment systems, we need infrastructure to communicate such as wired networks and base stations for cellular networks which are damaged by natural disasters. The authors propose to use mobile agent technology and digital signature with message recovery (DSMR) mechanism based on ECDSA mechanism to enable transactions in a disaster area using ad hoc networks.

In this paper the authors propose a Secure and Optimized Proximity Mobile Payment (SOPMP) Framework using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, WPKI (Wireless Public Key Infrastructure), UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card). The novelty of this proposed mobile payment framework is messages are exchanged in the form of Digital Signature with Message Recovery (DSMR) and merchant sends Invoice in the form of Digital Invoice Certificate (DIC) (which is digitally signed by the merchant). The communication link between mobile phone and merchant POS (Point Of Sale) is NFC. Digital Signature with Message Recovery based on ECDSA eliminates the need of adopting PKI cryptosystems thereby reducing the consumption of resources i.e. it consumes less computational and communication cost. DSMR eliminates the need of certificates validation and removes the hurdle of PKI thereby reducing storage space, communication cost and computational cost. The authors proposed protocol ensures Authentication, Integrity, Confidentiality and Non Repudiation, achieves Identity protection from merchant and Eavesdropper, achieves Transaction privacy from Eavesdropper and Payment Gateway, achieves Payment Secrecy, Order Secrecy, forward secrecy, and prevents Double Spending, Overspending and Money laundering. In addition to these our proposed protocol withstands Replay, Man in the Middle and Impersonation attacks. The security properties of the proposed protocol have been verified using AVISPA and Scyther Tools and presented with results.

India accounts for the highest road accidents and traffic congestion globally. The necessity for a canny vehicle framework is of great importance. VANET, abbreviated as Vehicular ad hoc networks is a network created in an ad hoc manner where different vehicles can exchange useful information among each other with dedicated servers ensuring safe travel. Security in VANET has always been a challenge in implementing a real time intelligent transport system. VANET is a type of mobile ad-hoc, to give correspondences among close by vehicles and among vehicles and close by fixed hardware. Vehicular ad hoc networks are highly dynamic in nature and suffer from frequent path breakage due to the high velocity of the moving vehicle. Hence, there are many security challenges and different types of attacks that makes VANETs less secure. Therefore, providing secure dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) easefully with any loss of data or malicious nodes has been a major research area. The major concern being addressed in the paper is to provide secure communication and save lives in road accidents. The role of security is high and messages in DSRC send warning messages to other vehicles. If attackers change these messages, then accidents become a part of the network and users’ lives can be at risk. Different classes of attacks include monitoring attack, social attack, timing attack, application attack and network attack to name a few. Advanced encryption standard is a symmetric block encryption algorithm. There is no evidence to crack this algorithm till date. This paper will provide a detailed overview of VANET architecture, types of attacks on VANET, AES algorithm and its salient features and how this algorithm could be utilized to make intelligent transport systems secure.

This chapter forays into the literature of emerging field of Self-Organization Network (SON) and its application in the area of location-based services. SON is a widely applied technology in the ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks and automatic computer networks. This chapter deal exclusively about the projects, standards and literature of SON in the context of the cellular networks and how it can aid to achieve higher position accuracy information of the subscriber. Additionally, in this chapter a clear understanding of SON taxonomy and the guidelines for the design of SON has been presented and a comparison of SON with the existing solutions about its strength and weakness has been made in this chapter. The key research areas for further development is also highlighted in this chapter. This literature will provide comprehensive guidance for anyone interested to delve into the research of SON in cellular wireless communication and location based services.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) allow communication among vehicles using some fixed equipment on roads called roads side units. Vehicular communications are used for sharing different kinds of information between vehicles and RSUs in order to improve road safety and provide travelers comfort using exchanged messages. However, falsified or modified messages can be transmitted that affect the performance of the whole network and cause bad situations in roads. To mitigate this problem, trust management can be used in VANET and can be distributive for ensuring safe and secure communication between vehicles. Trust is a security concept that has attracted the interest of many researchers and used to build confident relations among vehicles. Hence, the authors propose a secured clustering mechanism for messages exchange in VANET in order to organize vehicles into clusters based on vehicles velocity, then CH computes the credibility of message using the reputation of vehicles and the miner controls the vehicle's behavior for verifying the correctness of the message.
