<p class="MsoNormal">The Internet of Things is taking off: Internet-enabled computers are now embedded in everything from cars to pacemakers, and from electronic door locks to home heating controllers. Unfortunately security has lagged behind in the race to
build new applications and services. Researchers have already demonstrated how to take control of an Internet-enabled car or hack a range of wireless medical devices. The lack of IoT security has since led to a number of significant real-world attacks, such
as the IoT-based “Mirai” botnet in late 2016, or the February 2017 Denial-of-Service attack on a university from its own IoT-enabled vending machines and light switches.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The future of pervasive computing certainly looks bleak, unless we are able to secure smart environments more effectively in the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The aim of this special issue is to explore new technologies, methodologies, and applications that relate to all aspects of securing future pervasive computing systems and infrastructures. Contributions might come from diverse fields such
as human-computer interaction, distributed systems, dependable computing, psychology and sociology, IoT, cyber-physical systems, ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, legal scholarship and ethics, and economics. We welcome a wide range of research papers
including descriptions of completed systems, experience reports, new insights into specific technologies, novel algorithms and vision papers that articulate new challenges for the field.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Relevant topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing all aspects of this field, as long as the connection to pervasive computing and/or the Internet of Things is clear and central to the paper. Review or summary articles—for
example, critical evaluations of the state of the art, or an insightful analysis of established and upcoming technologies—might be accepted if they demonstrate academic rigor and relevance.<o:p></o:p></p>
