01About This Special Issue
Internet and social networks have dramatically changed the way we communicate and interact in all areas. The need to ensure free access to information and at the same time to ensure the protection of data and privacy has created new challenges.The violation of encryption protocols, the NSA-gate, terrorist online recruitment and massive hacker attacks have created the need for greater possibility of investigation over privacy but at the same time increased data protection and security.
The purpose of this special issue is to spread as much as possible studies and advanced researches regarding networks and secure communications while ensuring free access to information.
Aims and Scope:
1. cybersecurity
2. the internet of things
3. cryptography
4. encryption
5. network security
6. social media awareness and security
7. security awareness
8. hacking back in self defense
9. security for operational environments
10. exploit, mobile and cloud storage
11. security architecture
12. security management
13. physical security

Energy Conservation in Mobile Ad Hoc Network Using Energy Efficient Scheme and Magnetic Resonance
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 3-1, November 2015Pages: 34-39Received: 30 September 2015Accepted: 7 October 2015Published: 23 October 2015Abstract: A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that communicate with one another without any fixed networking infrastructure. Since the nodes in this network are mobile, the energy management and energy conservation become very critical in mobile ad hoc network. The nodes in this network have limited battery power and limited comp... Show More -
Power Management of Ad Hoc Routing Protocols Using Mobility Impact and Magnetic Resonance
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 3-1, November 2015Pages: 27-33Received: 30 September 2015Accepted: 7 October 2015Published: 23 October 2015Abstract: The performance of an ad hoc routing protocol is highly dependent on the mobility model used in the ad hoc networks. Most of previous work used only Random Waypoint mobility model, which is unrealistic in many situations. The mobile nodes are often power constrained so that energy conservation is also an important issue on evaluating protocols perf... Show More -
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 3-1, November 2015Pages: 23-26Received: 21 August 2015Accepted: 22 August 2015Published: 17 September 2015Abstract: The match of research activity, paediatric healthcare services offered by the IRCCS Burlo and internet access of long-stay patients produces a complex situation regarding IT security, network architecture and management. Often at the most inopportune time computers and other electronic devices quit working so the IT Staff has to ensure the proper f... Show More
