Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exploiting modern information systems requires using mobile devices equipped with appropriate applications and guaranteeing connectivity with services through distributed and changing access points and servers. This causes difficulties and creates new challenges in ensuring an adequate level of security, regardless of the current connection pattern.
Therefore, problems arise related to establishing the level of security and guaranteeing that it is satisfactory for all parties involved in the provision and use of the service. An additional problem is the transfer of the established security level between service components that change and cooperate during the end user's mobility.
In this Special Issue, we focus on the security context establishment and migration in mobile computing, which defines all the security settings and their relations to the entities involved in providing the service in a mobile environment.
We invite submissions related to different aspects of security context establishment and migration in modern mobile networks, including, but not limited to, the following:
5G networks security;
Mobile cloud computing;
Multi-access edge computing (MEC);
Inter-MEC systems and their security;
MEC-cloud system security establishment;
Application mobility services;
Interoperability in cloud computing;
Service-level agreement (SLA);
Level of security SLA;
MEC orchestration for security;
MEC enabler and access control management;
MEC application mobility;
V2X information service;
Service evolution;
End-to-end network slicing;
End-user applications security ;
Network security metrics;
Secure MEC applications;
Cloud computing risk evaluation;
Mobile identity management;
Security of mobile software;
Smart devices for mobility;
Ubiquitous computing.
