Cryptography: A Cybersecurity Toolkit

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cybersecurity has become increasingly important as we turn to the virtual world for communication, entertainment, education and work, to name a few such activities. This is very convenient but also exposes us to cyber criminals, who may try to interfere with our activities. Recent cyber-attacks against the US fuel pipeline and the JBS meatworks infrastructure illustrate this point. Cryptography can be seen as a security toolbox that provides us with algorithms and protocols for secure communication and interactions. The Special Issue explores recent progress in cybersecurity and cryptography. The topics that are of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Blockchain Technology
  • Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols
  • Cloud Security
  • IoT and Lightweight Cryptography
  • Malware, Ransomware and Phishing
  • Privacy, Un-traceability and Anonymity
  • Secure Multiparty Computations
  • Security of Critical Infrastructure
  • Web Authentication
