Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Communicating things are ubiquitous. They come in all forms and shapes and carry out many tasks, including sensing, photography, biometrics, and health monitoring, to name but a few. The speed at which this field is growing and the time-to-market attitude induced by fierce competition have caused many developers to cut corners. One of the many issues forced to the backseat is the privacy and confidentiality of transmitted data. Existing ad hoc-based protocols have not resolved this issue, and the lack of a prevalent standard with existing libraries for developers to employ does not alleviate the situation.
This Special Issue solicits papers that address this issue, providing future developers with the protocols they need to secure their communications. This includes (but is not limited to):
- Securing wireless network protocols
- Securing MANET protocols
- Securing VANET protocols
- Securing UAV protocols
