Security

Call for Papers: Security and Privacy in Wireless Systems Security and Communication Networks http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security/ Advances in wireless communication systems have enabled the Internet to be even more ubiquitous in terms of network deployment and management. However, there are many security challenges ahead if wireless technologies are to gain the trust and confidence of the users. Thus, this Special Issue aims to address many aspects of wireless communication security, in an effort to publish and summarize the current state-of-the-art research works and to provide insights into future directions and challenges in the field. The topics for this Special Issue include: * Wireless network security foundations, including authorization * Access control, and intrusion detection and prevention * Wireless network methodologies and protocols, including agent-based and mobile code security, and soft computing-based security * Wireless e-Commerce and enterprise security * Database system security and safety * Cross-layer design and security * Vehicular ad hoc network security and reliability * RFID and sensor network security and privacy * Software security for sensor network nodes * Wireless intrusion detection, localization and countermeasures * Cryptographic primitives and operations for wireless networks * Trust, anonymity and privacy models for wireless networks, across domain mobility * Wireless network forensics * Identity-based authentication for wireless networks * DDoS / DoS attacks * Secure routing protocols for wireless sensor networks * Securing digital content over wireless network Submitted papers should not be considered elsewhere for publication and the authors must follow the guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts.
