Emerging Research Trends and Technologies in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Utilization

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing complexity and diversity of network threats, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are confronted with more stringent performance demands, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key driver for their advancement.

This Special Issue focuses on emerging research trends and technologies in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and artificial intelligence (AI) and is intended to improve IDS designs. Interested researchers are invited to submit manuscripts that relate but are not limited to the following topics: artificial intelligence, optimization, quantum and post-quantum technologies, automation, software development, authentication, cryptography, and automated system designs for IDS improvements. This Special Issue particularly welcomes recent studies exploring traditional and quantum artificial intelligence and their applications in IDSs. All researchers, graduate students, and faculty of universities and other organizations are invited to participate in this publication by submitting novel research results that contribute theoretical and practical insights.

Focus areas include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Intrusion detection systems;
• Network security;
• Application security;
• Cloud security;
• Endpoint security;
• Data security;
• Identity and access management;
• Operational security;
• Incidence response;
• Forensics;
• IoT security;
• Mobile security;
• Critical infrastructure security;
• Cyber threat intelligence security;
• Cryptography;
• Governance, risk, and compliance;
• Zero trust;
• Physical security;
• Human security;
• Vulnerability management;
• Machine learning;
• Deep learning.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
