CALL FOR PAPERS

Security and Privacy in Emerging Networks

With recent advancements in networking technologies, some new emerging networks are being deployed that have the potential to be deployed broadly and at large scale in the near future. In the wired domain, these emerging networks include networks based on software-defined networking (SDN) and named-data-networking (NDN). In the wireless domain, they include mobile and wireless networks involving handheld computing devices, sensors and RFID devices, body area sensor networks, and participatory sensing networks.

Although these emerging networks have attracted much research effort, the security and privacy issues of these networks need more attention. This feature topic aims to promote further research interest in security and privacy in emerging networks by providing a vehicle for researchers and practitioners to discuss research challenges and open issues, and disseminate their latest research results.

Topics include (but are not limited to):
Named data networking security and privacy
Software defined networking security and privacy
Novel security methods using software defined networking
Body area sensor networking security and privacy
Security of incremental deployment
Security and privacy of participatory sensing networks
Practical implementations of cryptographic protocols in emerging networks
Threat and vulnerability analysis for emerging networks
Economics of emerging network security
Cross-layer design for security and privacy in emerging networks
Denial of service in emerging networks
Authentication and access control in emerging networks
Emerging and needed standards in emerging network security
