Call for papers: Special issue on security and mobility





			Call for Papers

	For the new journal published in cooperation with the ACM:

			WIRELESS NETWORKS

Special Issue: Mobility and Security

Scope:

Mobility introduces a new dimension to the problem of secure computing and
communication. The securing becomes harder and often more important. This is
sometimes due to the mobility of the communication devices, sometimes due
to the mobility of users (without mobile device), or the mobility of objects,
or that of the attackers.

Papers are sought that address the requirements, designs, algorithms and
implementation experience for securing networks, distributed systems,
information, and applications in environments that can support mobility.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Securing communication and distributed systems, such as:
       - Internet (TCP/IP, mobile IP, DNS, DHCP)
       - ATM
       - CDPD
       - GSM
       - SNA
       - Wireless LAN

Cryptographic protocols, such as:
       - key distribution
       - authentication
       - payments
       - anonymity and privacy

Cryptographic functions, such as:
       - encryption
       - message authentication
       - message digest
       - signatures

Computer viruses and worms

Security for intelligent and mobile objects and agents

Secure electronic commerce

Cryptographic hardware

Security and cryptography for wireless communication systems.
