Overview:
This special issue is devoted to composite and integrated security solutions
of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In WSNs, researchers have so far focuses
on the individual aspects (cryptography, privacy or trust) of security that
are capable of providing protection against specific types of attacks.
However, efforts on achieving completeness via a composite and integrated
solution are lacking. That is ultimate necessary to attain because of its
wide applicability in various sensitive applications, such as health-care,
military, habitat monitoring etc.

Current research so far seems to intensively focus on the
cryptographic-based security aspects of WSNs. Many cryptographic-based
security solutions have been proposed such as SPINS, TinySec, and LEAP etc.,
but surprisingly less importance
is given to privacy and trust issues of WSNs. Later two aspects contribute
in increasing the degree of completeness and reliability of a security
solution. However, incorporating privacy and trust features in a security
solution is not an easy task. This is due to the fact that the WSNs
generally consist of large number of tiny sized sensor nodes. And they
operate in highly resource-constraint environment in which nodes have
limited memory, energy, and computation power. Thus, lightweight privacy and
trust management schemes are needed to ensure completeness and reliability
in the security solution of WSNs. The objective of this special issue is to
gather recent advances in the area of composite and integrated security
solutions of wireless sensor networks. This special issue covers topics that
include, but are not limited to:
• Adaptive and Intelligent Defense Systems
• Authentication and Access control
• Data security and privacy
• Denial of service attacks and countermeasures
• Identity, Route and Location Anonymity schemes
• Intrusion detection and prevention techniques
• Cryptography, encryption algorithms and Key management schemes
• Secure routing schemes
• Secure neighbor discovery and localization
• Trust establishment and maintenance
• Confidentiality and data integrity
• Security architectures, deployments and solutions
