Title: Energy-Aware Perspectives on Green Computation Security A Book Edited by: Luca Caviglione, National Research Council of Italy, Italy Alessio Merlo, University of Genova, Italy, and Università e-campus, Novedrate, Italy Mauro Migliardi, University of Padova, Italy To be published by IGI Global Proposals Submission Deadline: September 15, 2012 Full Chapters Due: January 31, 2013 Introduction: Green Computing and Networking are two important topics in the most recent research agenda. However, since security is a fundamental requirement in each local and distributed scenario, to be effective these cannot be decoupled from security implications. In general, although the use of security mechanisms quite often increases both the computational and the energy demand of a system, the characterization of security systems and mechanisms in terms of power consumption is still largely unexplored. In particular, the energy requirement of the most popular security mechanisms and frameworks is an underestimated issue. Furthermore, attacks to systems and the exploitation of their vulnerabilities lack a clear and analytical modeling in terms of their energy aftermaths. This fact, as the appearance of new security attacks focused on draining battery of mobile devices clearly shows, is rapidly turning into a critical issue because of the explosive growth of such energy-constrained devices. Objective of the Book: This book aims at being a first effort in the direction of combining the established practices in the fields of energy aware networking and computing with security (with the acceptation of network, computing and software security). At the same time, the book wants to stimulate future research in computer security in an energy aware perspective. In particular, one of its final aims is to provide knowledge about models, architecture, design, implementation and assessment of energy-aware security solutions, also when deployed in mobile devices or to support intelligent systems. Target Audience: The joint analysis of energy issues and security aspects requires efforts both in the security and in the energy aware computing and networking field. The target audience embraces: security experts, energy aware computer and networks engineers, scientist and engineers willing to explore and build a secure and energy aware deployment plan for computing and networking infrastructure and policy makers looking for solutions capable of both securing their assets and reducing the energy footprint. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following focus areas: - Power consumption modeling of security protocols, mechanisms and countermeasures; - Measurements and field trials on energy requirements of security mechanisms and devices; - Security mechanisms to protect energy-control facilities for greening the network; - Security weaknesses introduced by Green-enabled devices; - Optimization of power consumption of security mechanisms; - Ad-hoc security mechanisms for battery operated, or with limited power capacity devices; - Energy consumption attacks; - Aspects of “green” (e.g., major results, theoretical and computational models), which can be applied to security world to enhance its understanding. Manuscript Submission Guidelines: Researchers, practitioners and professionals are invited to submit no later than September 15, 2012, a 2-3 pages Chapter Proposal, clearly explaining the topic and objectives of their proposed Chapter. Accepted authors will be notified according to the schedule reported in the "Important Dates" Section below. Also, they will receive a detailed guideline to prepare the chapter.
