Special Issue on "Physical Layer Security in Mobile Devices and Networks"

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/114299116/home

Conventional cryptographic security protocols have been widely used for
secure communication except the physical layer. Physical layer is the basic
of a communication system, and its security is critical for the system's
security. Physical layer security is an emerging field of research that has
seen an explosion of research in the past few years. Especially, with the
rise of various network convergences, it becomes more and more urgent.

This special issue aims to collect the contributions by leading-edge
researchers from academia and industry, show the latest research results in
the field of physical security in mobile devices and networks, and provide
valuable information to researchers as well as practitioners, standards
developers and policymakers. This special issue will focus on the research
challenges and issues in physical security in mobile devices and networks.
The manuscripts covering the novel algorithms, architectures,
implementations and experiences are welcome. The topics include but not
limited to

· Shout to secure theory and methods

· Secure communication with interference

· Physical-layer encryption for optical communication

· Secret communication over physical channel

· Securing access points

· Securing wireless links (in network convergence)

· Secure RFID communication

· Secure Machine-to-machine communication

· Authentication and Authorization

· Identification and Privacy protection

· Embedded security

· Trusted mobile devices

· Trusted computing platform

· Hardware system security

· Trusted computing standard

· Eavesdropper and wiretap

· Secrecy detection and cognition

· Cross-layer security and protection

· Security of mobile/wireless application system

· Homeland security systems and methods

· Real time implementation of security methods
