-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Network SI on Security and Privacy of Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 06:38:57 -0500 Von: Hongwei Li hongwei.uestc@GMAIL.COM Antwort an: Hongwei Li hongwei.uestc@GMAIL.COM An: tccc-announce@COMSOC.ORG

As a special cloud computing platform, Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing (CVCC), which seamlessly combines cloud computing and VANETs, has been recently proposed to accelerate the adoption of VANETs, and extended the traditional cloud infrastructure consisting of a majority of stationary nodes to the edge of vehicles. CVCC is a mobile computing paradigm, which consists of in-motion vehicles cooperating with each other to achieve a bunch of practical applications, such as collaborative package delivery and information dissemination. Essentially, CVCC coordinates the computing, communication, sensing, and storage resources of the vehicles on the road to balance the service requirements and the hardware limitation. Nevertheless, different from the traditional cloud infrastructure, CVCC requires sophisticated security and privacy protection mechanisms as the legitimate users and attackers have the same privileges in CVCC. Thus, the attackers can utilize system loopholes to reach their goals, such as obtaining confidential information and tampering with the integrity of information and the availability of resources. Therefore, in order to enhance the security and scalability of CVCC, a set of security and privacy requirements such as authentication, nonrepudiation, anonymity, and traceability should be met in accordance with the expected characteristics of Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing, and a number of crucial issues must be addressed such as trust model, data security, connection fault, and query tracking attacks. This special issue covers the most recent research results that address security and privacy issues of CVCC. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following:

-Encrypted search in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Secure outsourcing computing in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Secure data storage in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Access control and anonymization in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Authentication and authorization in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Data provenance in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Integrity verification in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Real-time security monitoring in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Useable security in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Implementation and testbed for secure Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing
