Security for Next Generation Wireless and Decentralized Systems
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evolving communication paradigms such as mobile ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks as well as peer-to-peer applications demand for novel security solutions. Due to the changed characteristics compared to today's networks, these systems are beyond the protection of (most of) today's security mechanisms. New approaches that are able to handle the challenging conditions have to be developed. In this process, the mutual influence of security and quality of service/experience has to be considered as an integral element. This way, coexistence of security and performance can be achieved in order to further catalyze the evolution.
