SPECIAL ISSUE:
"Privacy and Security in Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks"

Wireless sensor and ad hoc networks have many applications in military,
homeland security and other areas. Security is critical for such networks
deployed in a hostile environment. In civilian applications, however,
privacy concerns of these networks could become a more serious impediment to
their popular adoption. Providing privacy and security in wireless sensor
and ad hoc networks is more challenging than those in traditional wired
networks because wireless communications use shared medium and thus are
vulnerable to many attacks. Providing privacy and security in sensor
networks is further complicated by the network scale, the highly constrained
system resources and the difficulty of dealing with node compromises.

The main purpose of this special issue is to promote further research
interests and activities on privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad
hoc networks.
We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in
various aspects of privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc
networks. Topics of interest include:

* Key distribution and management
* Privacy issues in wireless sensor networks
* Security and Privacy issues in vehicular networks
* Location privacy and source anonymity
* Secure localization and secure routing protocols
* Trust management
* Secure data aggregation
* Authentication and authorization
* Study of attack strategies, attack modeling
* Study of tradeoffs between security and system performance
* Denial of service attacks and prevention
* Cross layer security and privacy attacks and solutions

Authors are requested to prepare their papers according to the Guide For
Authors on http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and to submit their paper to
the online submission and reviewing system, at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc.
They should choose the article type, Special Issue-Privacy & Security in
WSN.
