15.6. Interaction Between Survivability and Security in Wireless Networks

A major area of research that has been neglected is the interaction between survivability and security. Survivability and security have been usually studied separately. A system may be survivable under component failures but may make itself vulnerable to security attacks because of the restoration mechanisms employed. Also, automatic recovery from a security breach in wireless networks is not very well understood. Very few works exist in the literature that consider the two aspects together even for wired networks. Furthermore, in wireless networks, the two aspects are closely related because of the need to secure the broadcast wireless link and also keep a network survivable. ...
