This special issue on Security in Computing in the Springer Journal of TCS 
focuses on novel hardware implementation, new architectures, software 
solutions, novel applications, cryptographic algorithms and security 
protocols will become increasingly critical to good system performance, 
low-power and security.  Original papers are solicited for this special 
issue. Particular emphases will be put on recent innovations about security 
in the mobile and embedded computing domains. Suggested topics include, but 
are not limited to:

. Secure Architectures and Design
. Security Evaluation and Testing
. Cryptographic Algorithms and Techniques
. Security policies, protocols and standards
. Public- and symmetric-key cryptography in constrained environments such as 
RFID and smart cards
. Security in Distributed and pervasive Systems, Grid Computing, P2P 
systems, Web services,
       Digital TV, Mobile Devices, Embedded Systems and Wireless Networks.
. Applications of Biometry and Biometric Systems in Security
. Authentication and Authorization Models and Techniques
. Application case studies of ICs for secure embedded computing.
. Formal verification of security properties and security protocols
. Systems and Software Certification Methodologies
. Relationships among software correctness, reliability, usability, safety, 
and security
