Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of technology and new healthcare solutions, implementing them has become a new trend among various research group as well as among general users. These research groups mainly focus on the use of the latest information and communication technology to meet the needs of those who are associated with the healthcare industry: healthcare professionals, patients, and policymakers. Along with the emergence of smart homes, smart cities, and all things smart, healthcare has become an area of unbelievable influence and development. In short, a combination of high-speed internet, low latency, and high bandwidth will improve digital health care. However, technology for the transmission and access to medical information poses serious security and privacy issues that need to be addressed urgently. The greater connectivity to existing IT networks has in fact exposed administrations to new IT security vulnerabilities, as healthcare is an extremely interesting target for cybercrime. The authenticity of medical information and images is therefore very worrying, as it forms the basis for diagnostic results.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to focus on all aspects related to this particular area and the direction of future research. It will target all of the state-of-the-art research in academia and industry with a focus on current developments and will provide future guidance for the security and privacy of medical data and applications. The list of possible topics includes but is not limited to:
- Privacy preserving methods;
- Cryptographic techniques in healthcare;
- Secure and trustworthy information sharing;
- Threat detection and analysis;
- Guidelines for the protection of personal health data;
- Security risk assessment in healthcare;
- Ethical and patient safety implications;
- Secure sharing of healthcare data.
