Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable development is a multidisciplinary and complex topic in many areas. To achieve sustainable development in the information security filed, privacy-enhancing technology is essential. By implementing privacy-enhancing technologies, organizations can overcome barriers to data sharing and collaboration. Concerns about data misuse and breaches are alleviated, fostering a culture of trust and cooperation. Privacy-enhancing technologies enable organizations to share data without compromising the privacy of individuals, which is particularly important in sensitive industries such as healthcare, finance, and telecommunications.
Privacy-enhancing technologies, which are digital solutions that allow information to be collected, processed, analysed, and shared while protecting data confidentiality and privacy, enable organisations to conduct joint data analysis in a privacy-friendly manner. The true power of privacy-enhancing technology is in keeping data “hidden” from researchers while at the same time enabling the analysis of that data. These technologies could unlock new forms of collaboration and new norms in the responsible use of personal data. They may enable more collaboration across entities, sectors, and borders to help tackle shared challenges, helping drive solutions in areas such as health care, climate change, financial crime, human trafficking, and pandemic response.
Privacy-enhancing technologies offer several specific techniques to enhance privacy. Encryption techniques transform data into unreadable formats, ensuring that only authorized parties can access and decrypt the information. Anonymization methods remove personally identifiable information from datasets, making it challenging to identify specific individuals. Differential privacy techniques introduce noise or randomness to data analysis, preventing the identification of individual records.
In this Special Issue, we invite scholars and practitioners to submit their original research or review articles. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC);
- Anonymization methods;
- Differential privacy;
- Sustainable development of network;
- Blockchain security;
- AI security;
- Image security;
- Voice security;
- Sustainable data collection, processing, transmission and security;
- Sustainable data cooperation;
- Homomorphic encryption;
- Data masking.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
