Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of IoT has resulted in a tremendous increase in the connectivity of many devices and sensors deployed in various environments. The amount of sensitive data exchanged over IoT networks has also increased and IoT networks, especially those scaling to a large number of nodes embedded in the environment, such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), now face significant security challenges, similar to or in a greater extent than those of traditional networks.
Due to the unique characteristics of IoT networks, mainly their low cost as well as energy, bandwidth, and computational constraints, new and efficient methods to secure them are needed. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to strengthen this effort further, by inviting contributions that address security concerns, solutions and tools in IoT networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas for IoT:
- Protocol security
- Privacy protection
- Location information protection
- Privacy and security enhancing tools
- Standardization activities
- Intrusion and anomaly detection

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
