In the past decades, the evolution of wireless technologies has brought

significant changes in modern communication networks through its

wireless extension of wired networks. Wireless communications offer

organizations and users many benefits such as portability and

flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs.

However, risks are inherent in any wireless network. As the technologies

of next generation wireless networks are emerging, security has become a

primary concern in order to provide dependable and secure communication

between the wireless nodes in a hostile environment. The next generation

wireless networks face many unique challenges in security such as open

network architecture, shared wireless medium, limited resource

constraints, and highly dynamic network topology. This special issue in

Security and Communication Networks will present current research

focusing on the standard or protocol related security, attacks and

defense applications, security architecture and frameworks, and theories

and methodologies in security in next generation wireless networks.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

Standard or Protocol Related Security

* Bluetooth Security

* RFID Security and Privacy

* Secure PHY, MAC, Routing and Upper Layer Protocols

* Security in 3G/4G Mobile Cellular Systems

* Security in IEEE 802.11-based Networks

* Security in WiMax networks

* Security Issues in All-IP Wireless Networking

Attacks and Defense Applications

* Denial-of-Service Attacks and Countermeasures

* Large-scale Attacks and Defense in Wireless Networks

* Security in Wireless Multimedia systems

* Wireless Intelligent Defense Systems

* Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems

* Wireless Network Forensics

* Viruses, Worms, and Other Malicious Code in Wireless Networks

Security Architecture and Frameworks

* Security Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks

* Security for Critical Next Generation Infrastructures

* Security in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

* Wireless Sensor Network Security

* WLAN, WPAN, and WMAN Security

Theories and Methodologies

* Access Control and Trust Management in Wireless Networks

* Benchmark, Analysis and Evaluation of Security in Wireless

Networks

* Identity Management and Authentication in Wireless Networks

* Key Management in Wireless Networks

* Security Simulation and Tools in Wireless Networks

* Security Theory and Tools in Wireless Network Systems

Papers must be clearly presented in English. The paper should be

formatted according to the "Instructions to Authors" in Security and

Communication Networks website and submitted to Manuscript Central

through http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. Submitted papers must not

substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are

simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the

manuscript type as "Special Issue", enter the "Running Head", and the

"Special Issue title" as "SCN-SI-009" and "NG-security", respectively.
