The need to address security issues, and provide timely, solid technical contributions of security solutions in sensor networks establishes the motivation behind this special issue.

This special issue is dedicated to sensor network security. A paper should have security in sensor networks as the focus. Specific areas of interest include, but not limit to:

. Key Managements in sensor networks . Secure Routing in secure networks . Light weight Encryption and authentication in Sensor networks . Attacks and solutions in Sensor networks . Other areas which are related to both security and sensor networks.

The manuscripts should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in PDF format to Prof. Bo Sun at bsun@cs.lamar.edu. If the file is larger than 1MB, the authors are encouraged to use WINZIP. Furthermore, each author is required to help the review process of the special issue. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule:
