"Approaching wireless Internet security from the position of system architecture, this text describes the cryptographic and protocol-based tools for Internet security with a focus on understanding the system architecture of existing Internet security, and on developing architectural changes for new security services. Introducing the topics of security threats in wireless networks, security services for countering those threats, and the process of defining functional architecture for network systems, the author also discusses examples of wireless Internet security systems such as wireless network access control, local IP subnet configuration and address resolution, and location privacy.

Each chapter describes the basic network architecture and protocols for the system under consideration, the security threats faced, a functional architecture, and the important Internet (less)

And yet there is still much more to see of India. In its turbulent history, the country - nearly a continent in itself - has seen mighty kingdoms rise and fall.

World-famous monasteries and enormous stupas came into existence during the reign of Buddhist monarchs; Hindu Kings built temples with extravagant ornamental works dedicated to their numerous gods; Islamic conquerors, the Mogul emperors, for example, erected magnificent mosques as well as burial monuments. It is beyond doubt that the Indian subcontinent is immensely rich in sites of historical and cultural relevance.

This 'old India'has retained its momentum till this day and Hinduism, especially, still exercises great influence on the country's society and culture. The traditions (less)

"New Delhi has been home to extra-ordinary modern architecture from its inception: the monumental, brick-lined St. Martin's Garrison Church, the elegant mansions of Sujan Singh Park Complex, the understated, finely detailed IIC, the pathbreaking exhibition complex at Pragati Maidan, the astounding, sculptural Belgain Embassy.

The Modern Architecture of New Delhi, lists the most important buildings in the city which every Delhiite needs to know about.

"Elephants occupy a special place in the life and art of India. Since ancient times, they have been treasured and pampered as the ultimate beasts of burden, venerated as the vehicles of Gods and Kings and even worshipped in their own right.

Their legendary attributes of strength, intelligence, nobility and longevity are eulogized in myth, epic and popular literature. In the figural and decorative arts, elephants provide an enduring fascination.

Elephant Kingdom traces the myriad stories and symbolisms behind India's much-loved animal, through its depictions in architectural sculpture. At the heart of the study is a collection of photographs from a diversity of antique settings--many of them in remote parts of the subcontinent.
