Introduction

摘要

Given the explosion of mobile networks, it is more prudent than ever to ensure the security of mobile networks and transmitted confidential data. As businesses, governments, and individuals move towards mobile devices and applications for conducting private transactions, the data in transit and the data at rest needs to be secure from interception and unauthorised access. Mobile networks encompass much more than just traditional desktop and notebook computers. Mobile networks include smart phones, tablets, TV's, entertainment devices such as gaming consoles, in addition to traditional desktop and notebook computers. This special issue features articles focused on the security and privacy in different mobile environments, privacy guidelines, privacy frameworks, smart phone privacy, gaming console network security, and energy-efficient data aggregation for wireless sensor networks. The goal of this special issue of the IJMNDI edition is to provide a respected source for research dissemination for our contributors, and a source of cutting edge, high quality information within the field of security for mobile networks for our readers.
