> The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), supported by industrial
> companies
> and governments all over the world, marks an evolution that will surely
> have
> a great impact on our environments and our lives. The central element
> of this
> vision is the existence of a network of interconnected objects (from
> books to
> cars, from electrical appliances to food) that will be able not only to
> obtain information from their surroundings and interact with the
> physical
> world, but also to use existing Internet standards to provide services.
> However, security is extremely important for achieving this goal. As
> this
> worldwide network of interconnected objects can be exploited anywhere
> by
> anyone and anytime, it is necessary to enhance it with strong security
> foundations able to give birth to a world-changing paradigm. In fact,
> in
> order to adequately protect the IoT, there are plenty of factors that
> must be
> taken into account. For example, the protection of the different
> building
> blocks, the creation of interoperable security mechanisms, the
> development of
> new services that allow multiple entities (e.g., human beings,
> machines,
> objects) to cooperate with each other, and the management of all the
> information produced by those interactions. This special issue is
> proposed to
> cover research results and innovation case studies on security for the
> Internet of Things.
>
> Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
>
> * New security problems in the context of the IoT.
> * Privacy risks and data management problems.
> * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities.
> * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration.
> * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things".
> * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies.
> * Legal Challenges and Governance Issues.
> * Resilience to external and internal attacks.
> * Context-Aware security.
> * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT.
> * Web services security and other application-layer issues.
> * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management.
> * Usability of Security and Privacy Technologies in the context of the
> IoT.
>
> Submitted papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished
> works. Original research papers are solicited in all areas on security
> for the Internet of Things. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at
> least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for
> prospective
> authors can be found at
> http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security).
> Prospective authors should submit their papers online at
> http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the
> authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special
> Issue',
> and enter 'Running Head' and 'Special Issue title' as 'SCN-SI-029' and
> 'Internet of things', respectively.
