Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to advanced computer security and applied cybersecurity from the computer science, computer networks, and computer engineering perspective. Computer security and cybersecurity are nowadays transversal to multiple sectors and domains. So, solutions, methods, techniques, and development of technologies should evolve and adapt to the constant changes in cyberspace considering security and threats. Security researchers are required to create new solutions to address security challenges in this changing environment and combat advanced attacks on critical systems. Research and develop advances are expected to present security solutions for the society, industry, and organizations. Technology in this field is in constant evolution and so should cybersecurity considering artificial intelligence, cloud security, distributed systems, data security, privacy, internet of things, mobile systems, and other aspects. This Special Issue welcomes a range of contributions and encourages the submission of research papers for consideration. Indeed, we will consider paper submissions on practical security, applied cybersecurity, computer security and network security, linking theory with practice, and extending our understanding of cybersecurity and computer security.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Computer network security;
- Mitigation of distributed denial of service attacks;
- Malware research;
- Natural language processing applications for cybersecurity;
- Machine learning applications for cybersecurity;
- Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure;
- Cybersecurity applications for cybercrime prevention;
- Internet of Things cybersecurity;
- Cloud security;
- Privacy;
- Anonymity;
- DNS security;
- Supply chain security;
- DevSecOps;
- Advances in computer security;
- Protocol exploitation and mitigation;
