 CALL FOR PAPERS  A Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on Security, Privacy
and Trust Management in the Internet of Things  era (SePriT)  

http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-security-privacy-and-trust-management/

A primary aim of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to deliver personalised or
even autonomic services to individuals, building on a pervasive digital
ecosystem that collects information from and offers control over devices
that are embedded in our everyday lives. The extraordinary power of this
vision is expected to lead to fundamental social change: it will affect the
way in which we interact with our environment and each other, and will
result in the creation of new business opportunities and new business
models. However, the embedded nature of the technology and a lack of
awareness of its potential social and personal consequences, as balanced
against the more clearly articulated benefits, makes a special issue
dedicated to security, privacy and trust very timely.

Amongst other things, the reliance of IoT on simple, cheap,
(inter)networked processors has profound implications on security; the
potentially invasive nature of the information gathered has implications on
privacy; and the implicit reliance on technology to make decisions on one's
behalf makes mechanisms for expressing and reasoning about trust essential.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 *   Addressing novel security challenges for the IoT, including use cases,
threat models, protocols, and underlying technologies
 *   Privacy and (limited) anonymity in the IoT: threats, mechanisms,
guarantees, and policing
 *   Trust management in the IoT
 *   Interaction design for the IoT, with particular emphasis on providing
trustworthy information from and control over things to end users.
 *   Legal, social and ethical issues in the IoT  in both developed and
developing countries.
 *   Real case studies
