Special Issue on Security and Identity Architecture for the Future Internet

As the Internet is hitting its limits, its successor is being discussed 
in different fora  such as the Next Generation Internet (NGI) and the 
Future Internet Assembly (FIA). Government funding programs have been 
established for instance in Europe, Japan, Korea, and the US to foster 
the research addressing challenges of future networks including 
scalability, mobility, service provisioning, and, in particular, 
identity management. One crucial requirement for any solution is that 
security and privacy be an integral part of the design. We invite 
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore 
different identity aspects to address the limitation of the Internet 
and/or offer potential solutions and models for the design of future 
networks where security and privacy are built-in.

Potential topics regarding security and identity include, but are not 
limited to:

    Development and testing of novel and effective advanced 
architectures for the Future Internet
    Development of new strategies for Future Internet models
    Information-centric networking (ICN) approaches
    Experiences with deployment and testbeds
    Future Internet architectures’ resiliency and  trustworthiness
    "Clean-slate" multi-disciplinary research on new architectures
    Internet of Things


Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and 
quality. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that 
have previously published or are currently submitted for publication.
