The STREWS project is guest editor for a special issue of the IEEE Internet Computing magazine. The theme is security and the real-time Web. This is a copy of the Call for Papers:
Call for Papers
The real-time Web (WebRTC) is a maturing technology involving many players in what could be a significant evolution or revolution for voice and video calls over the Internet. Although the WebRTC specifications attempt to address the security issues that will inevitably arise with making calls via the Web, there will nonetheless be a range of implementation, deployment, and other security issues that develop as this technology is deployed.
This special issue aims to bring together new research results from a variety of backgrounds that address these core challenges. Topics of interest include WebRTC security-related work in
- key managment and public-key infrastructure for WebRTC;
- browser and Web server security;
- user privacy; and
- user interfaces for WebRTC security.
We encourage submissions from both academic and industrial practitioners, especially as they pertain to open source tools or products, but content must have technical merit, not be an advertisement.
Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to
