Special Issue on: "Detecting and Mitigating Information Security Threats for Mobile Networks"

Guest Editor:
Dr. Ashley Podhradsky, Dakota State University, USA

As individuals, organisations and governments increasingly rely on the transmission of mobile (and often personal) data, it is now more prudent than ever that we can ensure the confidentially, reliability, integrity and availability of mobile networks.

The goal of this special issue is to provide a 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.

We encourage contributions from the academic, practitioner and research communities, and recognise that contributions from each group are required for a successful edition.
