Security-Aware Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks: SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering

This SpringerBrief proposes a secure data sharing protocol, which merges the advantages of public key cryptography and symmetric encryption, to achieve data security in D2D communications. Furthermore, a joint framework involving both the physical and application layer security technologies is proposed for multimedia service over D2D communications thus the scalable security service can be achieved without changing the current communication framework. Additionally, as the system availability largely depends on the cooperation degree of the users, a graph-theory based cooperative content dissemination scheme is proposed to achieve maximal Quality of Experience (QoE) with fairness and efficiency.

This SpringerBrief will be a valuable resource for advanced-level students and researchers who want to learn more about cellular networks.
