CFP: Wiley's Journal of "Security and Communication Networks" Special Issue: Privacy and Security in Pervasive e-Health and Assistive Environments
http:/ /www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security

Scope of Contributions
This
Special Issue aims at providing researchers and professionals with an
insight on Privacy and Security on Pervasive e-Health and Assistive
Environments. Motivated by the above observations, this special issue
is organized to accommodate the most state-of-the-art implementations
and research studies on achieving secure and privacy-preserving
pervasive e-health and assistive environments. We seek for new and
unpublished research contributions from research, industry, government,
business, and the academia, that:

•Investigate underpinning
security and privacy models bringing together expertise from
interdisciplinary fields such as technology, law, and management sciences.
•Facilitate the applicability of security and privacy models for pervasive e-health and assistive environments.
•Develop new management paradigms for emerging technologies and architectures.

In particular, papers which cover the following areas (but not limited to) are highly solicited:
•Policies and practices for access, authentication, authorization, and auditing for health information systems in order to protect the privacy and security of electronic health information.
•Policies
for sharing/exchange of patient's sensitive information among
health/assistance providers for example, during an emergency.
•Legislation issues related to handling of protected health information in pervasive e-health environments.
•Secure data access in e-health and assistive infrastructures.
•Trust and privacy issues in e-health and assistive environments.
•Sensor network security for e-health environments.
•RFID, sensor networks and biometrics to enable security in e-health and assistive environments.
•Encryption, cryptographic techniques to ensure privacy and security in e-health.
•Case studies in respect to privacy and security in e-health environments.
•Trust and privacy issues in e-health and assistive environments.
•Sensor network security for e-health environments.
•RFID, sensor networks and biometrics to enable security in e-health and assistive environments.
•Encryption, cryptographic techniques to ensure privacy and security in e-health.
•Case studies in respect to privacy and security in e-health environments.
