Introduction:
Green Computing and Networking are two important topics in the most recent
research agenda. However, since security is a fundamental requirement in each
local and distributed scenario, to be effective these cannot be decoupled from
security implications. In general, although the use of security mechanisms
quite often increases both the computational and the energy demand of a system,
the characterization of security systems and mechanisms in terms of power
consumption is still largely unexplored. In particular, the energy requirement
of the most popular security mechanisms and frameworks is an underestimated
issue. Furthermore, attacks to systems and the exploitation of their
vulnerabilities lack a clear and analytical modeling in terms of their energy
aftermaths. This fact, as the appearance of new security attacks focused on
draining battery of mobile devices clearly shows, is rapidly turning into a
critical issue because of the explosive growth of such energy-constrained
devices.
Objective of the Book:
This book aims at being a first effort in the direction of combining the
established practices in the fields of energy aware networking and computing
with security (with the acceptation of network, computing and software
security). At the same time, the book wants to stimulate future research in
computer security in an energy aware perspective. In particular, one of its
final aims is to provide knowledge about models, architecture, design,
implementation and assessment of energy-aware security solutions, also when
deployed in mobile devices or to support intelligent systems.
Target Audience:
The joint analysis of energy issues and security aspects requires efforts both
in the security and in the energy aware computing and networking field. The
target audience embraces: security experts, energy aware computer and networks
engineers, scientist and engineers willing to explore and build a secure and
energy aware deployment plan for computing and networking infrastructure and
policy makers looking for solutions capable of both securing their assets and
reducing the energy footprint.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following focus areas:
- Power consumption modeling of security protocols, mechanisms and
countermeasures;
- Measurements and field trials on energy requirements of security mechanisms
and devices;
- Security mechanisms to protect energy-control facilities for greening the
network;
- Security weaknesses introduced by Green-enabled devices;
- Optimization of power consumption of security mechanisms;
- Ad-hoc security mechanisms for battery operated, or with limited power
capacity devices;
- Energy consumption attacks;
- Aspects of green (e.g., major results, theoretical and computational
models), which can be applied to security world to enhance its understanding.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Researchers, practitioners and professionals are invited to submit no later
than September 15, 2012, a 2-3 pages Chapter Proposal, clearly explaining the
topic and objectives of their proposed Chapter. Accepted authors will be
notified according to the schedule reported in the "Important Dates" Section
below. Also, they will receive a detailed guideline to prepare the chapter. All
submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
