The technology for ubiquitous computing system is advancing rapidly; however, the technology for ensuring security and availability has not kept pace. Since security has not been considered as an essential element in the design process and is often added as an afterthought, many modern systems are often plagued with numerous vulnerabilities. Thus, to have secure and resilient ubiquitous systems, essential network assurance and security (NAS) measures have to be incorporated in the design process and during their operation.

Network assurance (NA) quantifies risk from a network perspective, based on a comprehensive set of network facts. A complement to security solutions, network assurance measures the impact of network change on security, availability, and compliance. Using NA, organization can also prioritize remediation efforts based on a complete view of connectivity and risk. This is a critical requirement for validating policies and controls, as organizations weave security into the fabric of the infrastructure. Consequently, NAS has become an important research issue in ubiquitous environments (UEs). Finding effective ways to protect networks and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure in UE is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained professionals.

1687-1472

The aim of this special issue is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in NAS issues in UE. It will highlight various aspects of NAS?especially on crucial linkage between availability, compliance, and security. This issue will bring out the latest development and recent research results in this important technical area as well as problems and solutions related to NAS issues in UE. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Design, architectures, protocols, development, and deployment of NAS

Availability, dependability, survivability, and resilience issues

Authentication, Authorization, Access control and ID management

Redundancy, fault-tolerant models, and failure prevention

Trust modeling and management

Risk assessment and management

Cryptographic, network security and key management

Novel threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures

Reverse engineering of malicious code

Intrusion detection, IDS/IPS

Anonymity, user, and location privacy

Content protection and DRM

System/network management

Network forensics and fraud detection

Surveillance and privacy-enhancing technologies

Adaptive and Autonomic security

Multimedia security and privacy

Legal, ethical and policy issues related to NAS

New ideas and paradigms for NAS
