Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy : A New Open Access Journal

Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy is critical to society at large

individuals) at a given time [4].Similar risks are evident in the healthcare industry, where technologies meant to assist doctors and support patient well-being monitoring, unfortunately have been shown to leak unintended information [5].Services that monitor our homes and offices, using data from networked digital cameras, also provide the means to track individuals and their personal activities.
The capabilities provided by and use of systems that attack, detect attacks and defend against them raise questions of ethics and policy that must be explored.Questions of where the line should be drawn between protective surveillance and invasive monitoring, what constitutes an act of war in the cyber domain and what types of actions are justified in both preventative and responsive capacities are among those that will vex society-at-large over the years and decades to come.
New security and privacy threats are created by data being generated using sensors, and shared across our communication infrastructure to various computing services.It is possible now for adversaries to attack from virtually everywhere and at any time in the data life cycle.Adversaries might attempt traditional attacks intended to subvert the confidentiality, integrity and availability of these new cyber systems and, while such threats can lead to privacy, data, and economic damage, they can also lead to physical damage to the world around us and directly affect our personal well-being.
With all this in mind, the goal behind Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy is to provide a venue for articles and community engagement that will advance the state of the art in security and privacy research and practice for the increasingly cyber-enabled world.Towards this end, the journal's goal is to strategically attract articles on topics including:

•
Traditional research-focused articles that convey new security and privacy technologies; • Educational survey articles that instruct the broader community of security and privacy challenges and solutions; • Articles that discuss the policy and legal implications of the development, adoption and utilization of security and privacy technologies; • Editorials and position articles intended to pose new ideas and foster paradigm shifts; • Practitioner perspective and implementation articles which discuss the transformation of basic and applied research into real-world applications.
The journal aims to strengthen the cybersecurity and cyberprivacy communities by sharing knowledge and practice between different communities that are traditionally separate, such as technology and public policy.The broader scope of this journal aims to engage the public policy, legal, crime prevention and law enforcement, economics, and social/psychology to guide and inform the technical community towards the development and adoption of high-impact security and privacy solutions.Specifically, since this journal aims to span communities, it not only supports the need of researchers to explore the state of the art in the science and engineering of security and privacy, but also foster the growth of this young field of research to ensure that scientists and engineers are examining technologies that are of societal importance.The technical scope of this journal is interdisciplinary, involving contributions from different technical disciplines, such as cryptography, computer security, network security, information theory, signal processing, communications theory, game theory, and machine learning/data mining.Broadly, our goal is to advance knowledge of the domain of cybersecurity and its applications and pose and answer key questions that may define our society for generations to come.
