doi:10.1093/comjnl/bxt085 Editorial Advanced Security Technologies and Services for Future Computing Environments

The objectives of this special issue are advanced security technologies and services for future computing environments, including, but not limited to, security primitives, protocols and security applications and services. Recent advances in security technologies and services for future computing environments have created a new class of the following: (i) Wireless sensor networks and radio-frequency identification security and privacy; (ii) security architectures for distributed network systems, P2P systems, cloud and grid systems; and (iii) security in e-commerce, mobile and wireless networks, and finally, security standards and assurance methods. All papers are expected to focus on novel approaches for advanced security technologies and services for future computing environments and to present high-quality results for tackling problems arising from the ever-growing advanced security technologies and services for future computing environments
