Innovation in Information Security

Dear Colleagues,

Information is increasingly becoming a key asset of organizations and, in general, of people. An information breach can cost millions of dollars because it can reduce share value, ruin a reputation, or result in legal liability. For this reason, research in designing and implementing security mechanisms to keep information and information systems free from threats is a complex, timely, and rewarding challenge.

The objective of this collection is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that include but are not limited to:

• information risks
• risk management
• information threats
• information vulnerabilities
• information disclosure
• unauthorized access
• devaluation of information
• confidentiality
• integrity
• availability
• privacy
• authenticity and trustworthiness
• non-repudiation
• accountability and auditability
• cryptography for information security
• machine learning for information security
• disruptive technologies for information security
• new trends in information security
