Wireless
technologies such as 802.11b, 802.1a, and Bluetooth are rapidly being
deployed or are currently being considered for deployment in corporate
and military networks. These technologies are often deployed without
implementing available security measures. In addition, many
or the current security mechanisms such as the Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) have known security flaws.
The purpose of this panel it to
identify some of the major issues in deployment of mobile and wireless
networks as well as potential solutions and areas that need further
research and development.
Some of the topics that will be
addressed include:
 |
Is WEP adequate for most users? |
|
If not, what are the probable
solutions that will be deployed near term (next two years) and far
term? |
|
Can we make firewalls and mobile
networks play nicely together? |
|
How can we share wireless
resources between various and, often, competing organizations
(companies, and or governments) in a secure manner? |
|
How can we secure Ad hoc
networks? Consider, many ad hoc networks are addressing
military scenarios. In addition, ad hoc networks are often
associated with low-power, low-bandwidth, battery-powered devices. |
|
How
does security affect large-scale network deployments -
particularly with regards to scalability and key exchange? |

Quality of Service research has a long-standing and fertile history in the academic world, but the impact of this work on today's
deployed networks is noticeably mixed. Why is this so? Some suggest that there is a mismatch between research results and what is
actually needed technically, while others argue that economics, industry structure, and other less technical issues are the primary
limiters of real-life QoS services.
This panel will discuss technical and non-technical forces shaping the field of QoS research. Panelists will debate whether QoS remains
an important research area, relevance of current QoS research to practice, technical challenges remaining to be solved, and the larger
context into which modern QoS research must fit in order to have real-life effect. Our target audience is the researcher interested in
carrying out QoS work with a long-term vision and high impact results.
