Special Issue on: "Security for Smart Grid and Internet of Things
Applications"

Today, Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm in the development and
 evolution of the internet. The IoT is able, via modern wireless
telecommunications, to identify and co-operate digitally with physical
objects (or ‘things’) in order to exchange data between physical and virtual
worlds. Due to recent developments in IoT related to electronics, software,
sensors, actuators, there is active research interest in the connection
between IoT and smart grid. With active and passive attacks, this
connection makes the attacker’s task easier to disrupt the network and disclose
the object privacy. However, the smart grid with IoT cannot be widely
deployed without considering the security requirements, namely,
authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, access control, and privacy.

This special issue will address the latest advances and challenges in novel
techniques, algorithms, architectures and experiences within the field of
security, privacy and trust for smart grid and internet of things appl
ications.
