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:
