Wireless networks have experienced explosive growth duringthe last few years. Nowadays, there are a large variety ofnetworks spanning from the well-known cellular networks tononinfrastructure wireless networks such as mobile ad hocnetworks and sensor networks. Communication security isessential to the success of wireless sensor network applica-tions, especially for those mission-critical applications work-ing in unattended and even hostile environments. However,providing satisfactory security protection in wireless sensornetworks has ever been a challenging task due to variousnetwork and resource constraints and malicious attacks.

In this special issue, we concentrate mainly on securityand privacy as well as the emerging applications of wirelesssensor network. It aims to bring together researchers andpractitioners from wireless and sensor networking, security,cryptography, and distributed computing communities, withthe goal of promoting discussions and collaborations. Weare interested in novel research on all aspects of securityin wireless sensor networks and tradeoff between securityand performance such as QoS, dependability, and scalability.The special issue covers industrial issues/applications andacademic research into security and privacy for wirelesssensor networks.

This special issue includes a collection of 14 papersselected from 74 submissions to 9 countries or districts

(China, India, South Korea, Chennai, USA, Pakistan, SaudiArabia,Malaysia, and Taiwan). All submitted papers followedthe same standard (peer-reviewed by at least three indepen-dent reviewers) as applied to regular submissions.

In the paper entitled “Accurately Identifying New QoSViolation Driven by High-Distributed Low-Rate Denial ofService Attacks Based on Multiple Observed Features,” J.Kang et al. propose using multiple observed features ofnetwork traffic to identify new high-distributed low-rateQuality of Services (QoS) violation so that detection accuracymay be further improved.

In the paper entitled “A Self-Adaptive Wireless SensorNetwork Coverage Method for Intrusion Tolerance Basedon Trust Value” Z. Chen et al. propose a network coveragemethod for invasive tolerance based on trust value of nodesby combining the trust valuemodel with the reliable coverageoptimization.

The paper entitled “Trust-Aware and Low Energy Con-sumption Security Topology Protocol of Wireless SensorNetwork” by Z. Chen et al. tries to take node trust into consid-eration when building a network topology, so as to ensure thesecurity of the network communication.The TLES algorithmis based on the analysis of node behavior. It develops a varietyof trust factors and then performs comprehensive analysiswith direct information and recommended information.
