Special Issue on Trust, Security and Privacy in Parallel and Distributed?
Systems

In modern computing paradigms, most computing systems, e.g. cluster?
computing, grid computing, cloud computing, the Internet, telecommunication?
networks, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Machine-to-Machine?
communication networks (M2M), are parallel and distributed systems. While?
providing improved expandability, manageability, efficiency and?
reliability, parallel and distributed systems increase their security?
weaknesses to an unprecedented scale. As the system devices are widely?
connected, their vulnerabilities are shared by the entire system. Because?
tasks are allocated to, and information is exchanged among the system?
devices that may belong to different users, trust, security and privacy?
issues have yet to be resolved. The purpose of the proposed Special Issue?
of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems is to publish?
recent advances in trust, security and privacy for emerging parallel and?
distributed systems, with emphasis on the following aspects, but certainly?
not limited to:?

(1) Trust: policy semantics, metrics and models; trusted computing?
platform; trusted network computing; trusted operating systems; trusted?
software and applications; trust in cloud computing/CPS/M2M/social?
networks; trust in e-commerce and e-government; trust in mobile and?
wireless communications; risk and reputation management; survivable?
computer systems/networks; and trust management.

(2) Security related issues: computer security; network security; database?
security; Web applications security; security policy, model and?
architecture; authentication, authorization and accounting; security in?
cloud computing/CPS/M2M/social networks; security in mobile and wireless?
communications; security in parallel and distributed systems; and?
miscellaneous security issues.

(3) Privacy related issues: privacy in Web-based applications and services;?
privacy in database systems; privacy in e-commerce and e-government;?
privacy in network deployment and management; privacy in cloud computing/
CPS/M2M/social networks; privacy in mobile and wireless communications;?
privacy in parallel and distributed systems; and miscellaneous privacy?
issues.
