John Wiley Journal of “Security and Communication Networks” Special Issue on "Security in Wireless Sensor Networks"

Recent development in wireless communication networks has enabled the large-scale deployment of low-cost, energy efficient and multi-purpose wireless sensor networks. A lot of real-world applications have been already deployed and many of them will be based on wireless sensor networks. These applications include geographical monitoring, medical care, manufacturing, transportation, military, and surveillance systems. Due to the nature of wireless communication networks, many security challenges are faced when dealing and working with such technologies including eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle, spoofing and DDoS. Security is the key issue for reliable critical applications in wireless sensor networks. Advances in design and prototype of security mechanisms in wireless sensor network systems for protecting the confidentiality, availability, and integrity are crucial for the success of sensor applications. Original contributions are solicited in all the relevant security issues in wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to:

Protocols and architectures for wireless sensor networks Key distribution and key management Provably-secure cryptographic protocols Public-key and symmetric-key cryptosystems, block ciphers, and hash functions Network security protocols: DNS security, routing, naming, denial-of-service attacks, TCP/IP, secure multicast Anonymity techniques Trust mechanisms Privacy Security and usability Automated analysis of protocols Authentication mechanisms Biometric-based security schemes RFID
