Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing virtually every aspect of our lives. However, with this progress comes a growing concern for cyber security and user privacy. Traditional encryption methods, while crucial, are facing new challenges in the AI age. This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of AI and cryptography, investigating how AI can enhance security and privacy in the face of evolving threats.
This Special Issue will welcome original research papers, surveys, and reviews on the following themes:
- AI-powered encryption techniques;
- AI for vulnerability analysis and threat detection;
- AI-based intrusion prevention and anomaly detection;
- Privacy-preserving AI;
- The impact of AI on post-quantum cryptography (PQC);
- Security challenges in AI systems;
- AI model security;
- Adversarial attack and vulnerability discovery;
- The ethical considerations of AI-powered cryptography.
