Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the large-scale deployment of 5G/6G, the deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing, and the exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the network has penetrated every corner of the social economy, becoming the core engine driving digital transformation. However, this process is also accompanied by unprecedented challenges: increasingly intelligent means of network attacks, frequent incidents of data privacy breaches, protocol compatibility issues caused by heterogeneous network fusion, and intensified contradictions between energy consumption and computing power demands. In this context, research on network security and intelligent application must keep pace with the development of network technology, laying the foundation for building a trustworthy, controllable and scalable digital world. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share insights, methods, and innovative solutions. We will focus on the latest developments in network security and intelligent applications, including, but not limited to, research on network security threat detection, data privacy protection mechanisms, password algorithm optimization, security protocol design, blockchain applications, and intelligent applications. We encourage the submission of interdisciplinary achievements to promote research on network security deployment and intelligent applications. We sincerely invite researchers from academia and industry to contribute high-quality original research results. We look forward to promoting the improvement of network security protection capabilities and the healthy development of intelligent applications through the presentation and exchange of this Special Issue, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable prosperity of the global digital economy.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 6G network intrinsic security architecture.
- AI-driven network threat detection and response.
- Security enhancement techniques for software-defined networks and programmable data planes.
- Intelligent system application in edge computing and distributed network environment.
- Network measurement, situational awareness, and collaborative defense.
- Application of privacy-enhanced computing in network analysis.
- Privacy protection technologies and intelligent applications in the Internet of Things.
