*Computer Networks (Elsevier)*
*Special issue on Recent Advances in Physical-Layer Security*
Physical-layer security is emerging as a promising approach for
supporting new and existing security services. Aspects of the physical
layer have the potential to provide security services that challenges
the capabilities of conventional cryptographic mechanisms, such as relay
attacks, ad-hoc key establishment and key-less secure communication.
This special issue aims to further scientific research into both
theoretical and practical approaches to physical-layer security. It will
accept original research papers that report latest results and advances
in this area, and will also invite review articles that focus on the
state-of-the-art, highlighting trends and challenges. The papers will be
peer reviewed and will be selected on the basis of their quality and
relevance to the topic of this special issue. We would particularly like
to encourage submissions that present strong experimental and/or
practical implementation results. Topics include (but are not limited to):
* Determining physical proximity of devices (distance-bounding
protocols, location limited channels, etc.)
* Device fingerprinting based on communication features
(frequency/data clock skew/transients, etc.)
* Noisy channels (‘friendly’ jamming) approaches for security
* Jamming (‘unfriendly’) resistance
* Secret-key generation and agreement over wireless channels
* Cross-layer security mechanisms incorporating cryptography and
physical layer aspects for low-resource devices like RFID (efficient
schemes, simplified signal processing requirements, etc.)
* Experimental results on practical implementations of physical layer
security techniques

*/Submission Guidelines/***
All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by three
experts in the field and will be evaluated with respect to the relevance
to this special issue, level of innovation, depth of contribution, and
quality of presentation. The Guest Editors will make an initial
determination of the suitability and scope for all submissions. Papers
that either lack originality or clarity in presentation will not be sent
for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases.
Submitted papers must not be under consideration by other journals,
publications or conferences.
Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format described
below at the journal site:
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-authors.
The submission must be clearly written and in excellent English, with a
maximum page limit of 20 pages. If an earlier version of the paper was
published in a conference, the submitted manuscript must be a
substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are
also required to submit their published conference articles and a
summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
Manuscripts should be submitted on line through
http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ and “Physical Layer Security” selected
as the article type.
