Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an increasingly interconnected and data-driven world, the protection of digital assets and the assurance of privacy have become more critical than ever. As cyberthreats evolve in complexity and scale, there is a pressing need for innovative technologies and robust frameworks that can ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems. This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Technology of Information Security and Privacy”, seeks to explore cutting-edge research and practical solutions addressing current and emerging challenges in cybersecurity, risk management, and data protection.
We invite high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews that advance the theoretical, methodological, and practical understanding of security and privacy in digital environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Privacy-preserving technologies and data anonymization;
- Threat modeling and risk assessment methodologies;
- Security in AI and machine learning systems;
- Cybersecurity governance and compliance frameworks;
- Identity management and access control;
- Cloud and IoT security;
- Human-centered security and behavioral aspects;
- Emerging technologies (e.g., blockchain, quantum security).
We look forward to your contributions to advancing the state of the art in this vital field.
