Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of data-driven technologies for large-scale data processing has raised significant concerns about data privacy and security. This Special Issue aims to explore various challenges related to big data and address issues regarding the advanced technologies. The scope of this Special Issue includes differential privacy, anonymization schemes for multi-dimensional data, study on various threat models, and human aspects regarding privacy policies for data-driven technologies.
We look forward to your submissions.
