***Call for Papers***
Security and Privacy Protection on Clouds
 Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing
The emerging paradigm of cloud computing provides a new way to address the constraints of limited energy, capabilities, and resources. Researchers and practitioners have embraced cloud computing as a new approach that has the potential for a profound impact in our daily life and world economy. However, security and privacy protection is a critical concern in the development and adoption of cloud computing. To avoid system fragility and defend against vulnerabilities exploration from cyber attacker, various cyber security techniques and tools have been developed for cloud systems.  This special issue will focus on the challenging topic―“Security and Privacy Protection on Clouds” and invites the state-of-the-art research results to be submitted here.

Topics
This special issue calls for original, high-quality, high-impact research papers related to the following broad topics, but are not limited to:

・                   Cloud Security in New Paradigms

・                   Mobile cloud security
