CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Wireless Communications (IF=9.202)
Special Issue on:
Challenges and Novel Solutions for 5G Network Security, Privacy and Trust
Overview
Currently it is expected that the 5th generation (5G) wireless systems will soon provide rich ubiquitous communication infrastructure with wide range of high-quality services. It is foreseen that 5G communications will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and much improved capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user experiences for the service like: massive content streaming, telepresence, virtual/augmented reality, crowded area communications, user-centric computing, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings, smart cities, etc.
The 5G systems are currently in the center of attention of academia, industry, and governments worldwide as it drives many new requirements for different network capabilities. As 5G aims at utilizing many promising network technologies, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Information Centric Network (ICN), Network Slicing, Cloud Computing, MEC, etc. and supporting a huge number of connected devices integrating above mentioned advanced technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous challenges for security, privacy and trust. Therefore, secure network architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis for 5G to address this problem and follow security-by-design but also security by operations rules. Finally, as in 5G networks even more user data and network traffic will be transferred, the big data security solutions assisted by AI techniques should be sought in order to address the magnitude of the data volume and to ensure security concerns at stake (e.g. data security, privacy, etc.).
Considering above, this feature topic aims at collecting the most relevant ongoing research efforts in 5G network security field. It covers topics which are important for 5G networks in order to release their full potential. The second aim is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by the researchers from academia and the industry. Topics include, but not limited to the following:
- Attacks & Threats Detection in 5G Networks
- 5G Security Monitoring and Telemetry
- Security Frameworks for Various 5G Applications & Scenarios
- 5G Security Architectures
- Security Management in Heterogeneous 5G Networks
- Access Control Security for 5G Networks
- Security Protocols for 5G Networks
- 5G Core Network & Wireless Communications Security
- Information Sharing and Data Protection in 5G Networks
- Physical Layer Security in 5G Networks
- Big Data Security and Analytics in 5G Networks
- Cloud Technologies Security in 5G Networks
- IoT security and trust in 5G
- Economics of 5G security
- 5G identity management and its trustworthiness
- Trust models in 5G
- Privacy preservation and enhancement in 5G
