Last Call for Special Issue Papers: Trusted Computing and Communications
in the Wiley's Security and Communication Networks (SCN) Journal
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/121382872/HTMLSTART

With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer and
communications
systems and networks, traditional security technologies may not be able to
meet
the demand for integrated and dynamic security solutions. As a challenging
and
fast-growing research area, trusted computing and communications work to
make
computer/communications systems and networks available, secure, reliable,
and controllable. In general, trust works in three aspects: identity trust,
function trust, and behavior trust. We can view traditional security as
the identity trust, whereas trusted computing and communications also
include
function trust and behavior trust of systems and networks. In fact, trusted
computing and communications have gradually become an essential part of
e-commence
and e-government, including various distributed services, applications, and
systems.

This Special Issue (SI) is proposed in Wiley's Security and Communication
Networks (SCN) Journal
(http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security) to provide a forum in the
community to exchange
the current research activities focusing on analysis, design, and
applications of trusted
computing and communications in various computer/communications systems and
networks.
