Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pervasiveness of embedded devices in our everyday world is apparent. With paradigms such as Internet-of-Things, Edge Computing, Industry 4.0, the importance of small computing devices is higher than ever. However, as these devices are often placed in uncontrolled, potentially hostile environments, security evaluations need to consider physical security threats. Fault injection attacks fall within this category, being a well-researched area that focuses on breaking cryptographic implementations by actively tampering with the device. For over two decades, researchers have been developing novel fault analysis methods, fault injection techniques, and countermeasures.
The focus of this Special Issue covers all aspects of fault analysis in cryptography. This includes, but is not limited to, novel attacks and protections on both symmetric and public key cryptography, experimental evaluations, automated techniques, security proofs, and standardization methods.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cryptography is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
