>> Special Issue on "Efficient and Robust Security of Wireless Mesh
>> Networks"
>>
>> Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is an emerging next generation wireless
>> broadband provisioning technology which is gaining significant interest
> from
>> academia and industry. WMNs have been considered as a city-wide
>> community-based approach to support and ensure high-speed last mile
>> unrestricted ubiquitous broadband access. In spite of many great features
>> in WMNs such as self-organizing, self-healing, easy and cost effective
>> deployment and maintenance, high scalability of services yet a lot needs
> to
>> be done in terms of efficient and robust security solutions, and reliable
>> access to user. Some of the inherent characteristics of WMN such as
>> large-scale coverage, decentralized and multi-hop architecture,
>> multi-radios, multi-channel assignments, ad hoc connectivity, dynamic
>> topology and support the maximum freedom of users to join or leave the
>> network from anywhere and at anytime has made the situation far more
>> complex. As a result broadband resources are exposed to various kinds of
>> security attacks.
>>
>> This special issue aims to gather recent advances in the area of security
>> aspect of WMNs. It welcomes survey/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

>> the topic of this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to:
>>
>> . Secure multimedia communication and streaming
>> . Secure neighbour discovery, localization and mobility
>> . Security architectures, deployments and solutions
>> . Denial of service attacks and countermeasures
>> . Intrusion detection and prevention techniques
>> . Distributed security and adaptive defense systems
>> . Confidentiality, integrity, availability, trust establishment and
>> privacy
>> . Authentication and Access control
>> . Cryptography, encryption algorithms and Key management schemes
>> . Experimental validation and experiences with WMN testbed and/or
>> deployment
>>
>> All papers will be reviewed according to the standard peer review process
