<Call for Papers>

In the past decades, the evolution of wireless technologies has brought
significant changes in modern communication networks through its
wireless extension of wired networks. Wireless communications offer
organizations and users many benefits such as portability and
flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs.
However, risks are inherent in any wireless network. As the technologies
of next generation wireless networks are emerging, security has become a
primary concern in order to provide dependable and secure communication
between the wireless nodes in a hostile environment. The next generation
wireless networks face many unique challenges in security such as open
network architecture, shared wireless medium, limited resource
constraints, and highly dynamic network topology. This special issue in
Security and Communication Networks will present current research
focusing on the standard or protocol related security, attacks and
defense applications, security architecture and frameworks, and theories
and methodologies in security in next generation wireless networks.
