A Survey on MAC Layer Security Challenges in WMNs | Chapter 15 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 11

 For its self-organizing, self-configuring, and self-healing capabilities, as well as their low cost and ease of maintenance, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as a potential technology for a wide range of applications. Due to their inherent characteristics such as shared wireless medium, multi-hop and inter-network communication, highly dynamic network topology, and decentralised architecture, securing WMNs is a more challenging and complex issue. The WMNs are vulnerable to a variety of MAC layer attacks because of these vulnerabilities. Existing MAC layer standards and implementations are insufficient to secure these functionalities, and they do not provide comprehensive security solutions to protect both the backbone and the client mesh. As a result, efficient, scalable, and integrated security solutions for WMNs are required. We classify MAC layer attacks and examine existing countermeasures in this paper. Based on the classification of attacks and the analysis of countermeasures, we derive research directions for improving the MAC layer security of WMNs.

Recent Development: Vaccine Allied Biologics | Chapter 9 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 8

 There were a variety of biologic preparations that had vaccine-like potential. Currently, they are organised in groups, similar to how vaccine classes are gathered. Therapeutic vaccine allied biologics TVAB is an example of such a group. TVAB can assemble at least five classes, which are available for both experimental and therapeutic application to a lesser extent. Cellular secretions, receptor-anti-receptor check point inhibitors, subunite macromolecules, commensal microbiota, and bacteriotherpeutics are examples of these classes. Both vaccination criteria and group-specific special evaluations were used to evaluate the suggested classes. This is a stage in the development of a new classification system for vaccines and related biologics.
