--------------------------------------- CFP for Special Issue on Security on Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Computer Communications Journal

The increase of wireless and mobile devices and the recent advancement in wireless and mobile ad hoc and sensor networks technologies/applications in a large variety of environments, such as homes, business places, emergency situations, disaster recoveries and people on the move is unprecedented. These activities over different network systems have brought security concerns on an unprecedented scale. Security is an important issue for wireless and mobile ad hoc and sensor networks (MANETs) especially for the security-sensitive applications such as in military, homeland security, financial institutions and many other areas. Such security threats take advantage of protocol weaknesses as well as operating systems' vulnerabilities to attack Internet applications. Theses attacks involve, for example, distributed denials of services, buffer overflows, viruses, and worms, where they cause an increasingly greater technical and economic damage.

With regard to such cyber security aspects, there is an increasing demand for measures to guarantee and fully attain the authentication, confidentiality, data integrity, privacy, access control, non repudiation, and availability of system services. This Special Issue will serve as a venue for both academia and industry individuals and groups working in this fast-growing research area to share their experiences and state-of-the-art work with the readers.

Scope of Contributions This Special Issue will serve as a venue for both academia and industry individuals and groups working in this fast-growing research area to share their experiences and state-of-the-art works with the readers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
