Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), including Industrial IoT and Home IoT, sensors and IoT devices are starting to play an ever increasingly important role in various fields such as smart grids, power plants, manufacturing, and supply chains. Such sensors and IoT-based systems could be vulnerable to various cyber attacks. As an innovative data-driven paradigm, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized several classical areas such as image, video, speech, and text processing. However, when applying to mitigating cyberattacks, the inherent limitations of AI such as data-dependent, weak generalization, and lack of explanability have obstructed the development of AI-driven cybersecurity. Furthermore, sensors and IoT devices have imposed additional obstables, including low power, heterogenity, and weak computing power, which makes applying AI for cybersecurity even more challenging. In this Special Issue, we are welcoming research and development that aims to apply and improve AI to enable and empower cybersecurity in sensors and IoT-based systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

With the application of robotics in security monitoring, medical care, image analysis, and other high-privacy fields, vision sensor data in robotic operating systems (ROS) faces the challenge of enhancing secure storage and transmission. Recently, it has been proposed that the distributed advantages of blockchain be taken advantage of to improve the security of data in ROS. Still, it has limitations such as high latency and large resource consumption. To address these issues, this paper introduces PrivShieldROS, an extended robotic operating system developed by InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), blockchain, and HybridABEnc to enhance the confidentiality and security of vision sensor data in ROS. The system takes advantage of the decentralized nature of IPFS to enhance data availability and robustness while combining HybridABEnc for fine-grained access control. In addition, it ensures the security and confidentiality of the data distribution mechanism by using blockchain technology to store data content identifiers (CID) persistently. Finally, the effectiveness of this system is verified by three experiments. Compared with the state-of-the-art blockchain-extended ROS, PrivShieldROS shows improvements in key metrics. This paper has been partly submitted to IROS 2024. Full article
