Special Issue on
Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile
Communication Networks
The advances in wireless communication technologies toward 4G networks and the
wide use of mobile devices have enabled users to communicate with each
other and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various
types of access networks and systems everywhere, anytime. However, the
always-connected mobile device usage model brings to the foreground new
security and privacy issues for both the end-user and network/service
provider. For example, such a multi-domain and heterogeneous environment poses
serious threats to the end-user who has contract with and trusts only a
limited number of operators and service providers. In this respect, secure,
reliable, and privacy-preserving communications combined with constant
network availability are essential factors for the adoption of any service or
application that utilize wireless technologies. Also, the tight-coupling
of these wireless network domains to the Internet make them more susceptible to
attacks. New security challenges emerge constantly due to the open
nature of the wireless medium, the dynamic network topology, the lack of common
security/privacy policy used by network operators, the resource
constraints of the mobile devices and, in some cases, the lack of a
pre-deployed infrastructure.
The objective of this special issue is to foster state-of-the-art contributions
in the area of security, privacy, and its applications for future
mobile communication networks. In particular, our focus will be on network
layer security with the intention to address all aspects of the modeling,
designing, implementation, assessment, deployment and management of mobile
network security and privacy-preserving mechanisms, protocols and
architectures. We encourage original and high quality contributions to the
evaluation, enhancement of security and privacy-preserving mechanisms for
current mobile technologies as well as novel proposals for efficient security
and privacy solutions of emerging mobile and wireless technologies.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- Lightweight Security Infrastructure
- IMS security and privacy issues
- Privacy and anonymity
- Intrusion detection and avoidance
- Modularized security architectures and implementations
- Threat and vulnerability modeling
- Lightweight AAA infrastructures
- Privacy and Security Compliance
- Security issues related to mobility in heterogeneous networks
- Security of mesh networks
- Trust establishment, negotiation, and management
- Secure Multicast/Broadcast Service
- Lightweight cryptography
- Cross Layer approach to security
- Key agreement, distribution and management
- Trusted Platform Modules
- Access control management systems
- Privacy-preserving location-based services
- Secure social networking for mobile devices
- Biometric solutions for mobile devices
- Security and privacy for QR codes
- Reputation management models
- Secure mobile ecosystems
- Formal security verification methods
All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two
experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special
issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of
presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the
suitability
and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in
presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be
sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases.
Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or
publication.
