Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of rapid technological advancement, cloud computing has emerged as a cornerstone of modern IT infrastructures, enabling seamless data storage, processing, and accessibility. However, the increasing reliance on cloud solutions has introduced critical concerns regarding data security and privacy. This Special Issue is dedicated to addressing these challenges head-on by presenting state-of-the-art research, insights, and innovative solutions that aim to fortify data security and uphold user privacy in cloud computing environments. We invite contributions from researchers, practitioners, and experts in the field to share their knowledge and expertise in safeguarding sensitive information in the cloud. Join us in delving into the myriad dimensions of security and privacy within the expansive realm of cloud computing.
