CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Communications 
Special Issue on
Security and Privacy in Communication Systems and Networks

The rapid advancement of communication technologies has revolutionized human's 
lifestyles by providing the best convenience and flexibility ever in accessing the Internet 
services and various types of personal communication applications. For instance, with the 
emerging wireless communication technologies, healthcare industry now is offering high 
quality services to patients with low costs through a variety of applications enabled by 
wireless and information technologies. This is because these wireless-equipped healthcare 
systems enable remote and continuous monitoring of patients? health status in both 
residential settings and outdoor settings, where patients feel more comfortable and their 
activities are less restricted. Early detection of emergency situations via wireless 
communications makes it possible to provide timely first-aid and access patient?s health 
information in a pervasive manner, thereby improving reliability and efficiency of our health 
care system. Although huge potential benefits are widely recognized, there are many 
challenges especially with respect to security and privacy issues.

The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the 
modeling, designing, implementation, deployment, and management of computer/network 
security systems, architectures and protocols. We solicit contributions to the evaluation, 
optimization, and/or enhancement of security mechanisms for current technologies as well 
as new designs for efficient security and privacy solutions of emerging technologies, e.g., 
M2M Communications. High quality and original research papers are solicited in all related 
areas of emerging communication systems and network technologies. Topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to:
* Security design for cognitive radio networks
* Security and privacy in M2M and its applications
* Key distribution and management
* Security design for sensor/Ad Hoc networks
* Security and privacy in VANETs
* Security and privacy in Healthcare
* RFID security
* Cross layer approach to security
* Secure cooperation in wireless networks
* Network coding security
* Social network security
* Mobile code security
* Distributed system security
* Forensic applications and techniques in communication systems and networks
