****CALL FOR PAPERS****

*International Journal of Internet of Things and Cyber-Assurance (IJITCA)*

------------------------------------------------------------------ **Published by: Inderscience Publishers** http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijitca -------------------------------------------------------------------

**Journal Overview** Cyber-assurance is the justified confidence that Internet of Things (IoT) networked systems and devices are adequately secured to meet operational needs, even in the presence of cyber-attacks, failures, accidents and unexpected events. The IJITCA is looking to increase the visibility of current research and emergent trends in cyber-assurance for IoT networks, applications, architectures and information security methods based on theoretical aspects and studies of practical applications.

The IJITCA will cover fundamental to advanced topics necessary to grasp the IoT current cyber-assurance issues, challenges and solutions as well as future trends in secure IoT devices and networks. IoT devices and networks may range from hand-held mobile devices to a centralized high performance cloud computing environment consisting of heterogeneous communication systems of both tactical (mobile, wireless) and fixed (wired) communications infrastructures. From an information security perspective, the IoT must address the delivery of authentic, accurate, secure, reliable and timely information (regardless of threat conditions) over these distributed and heterogeneous computing and communication systems.
