Special Issue on Intrusion Detection and Security Mechanisms for Wireless
Sensor Networks
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks
ISI Thomson Impact Factor (2011): 0.203
Call for Papers
Wireless sensor networks are gaining significant interest from academia and
industry. Wireless sensor networks are multihop, self-organizing, self-healing,
and distributed in nature. These characteristics also increase vulnerability
and expose sensor networks to various kinds of security attacks. Advance
security mechanisms and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) can play an
important role in detecting and preventing security attacks.
This special issue aims to gather recent advances in the area of security
aspect of wireless sensor networks. It welcomes research and review articles
that focus on the challenges and the state-of-the-art solutions. 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. Potential topics include, but are
not limited to:
Intrusion detection systems
Secure neighbor discovery, localization, and mobility
Security architectures, deployments, and solutions
Denial of service attacks and countermeasures
Intrusion prevention techniques
Adaptive defense systems
Trust establishment and privacy
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability assurance
Authentication and access control
Secure routing protocols
Cryptography, encryption algorithms, and key management schemes
Experimental validation and experiences with testbed and/or deployment
