Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are experiencing explosive growth in digital data and connected devices today based on the successful realization of the Internet of Things (IoT). The application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is prevalent in a wide range of fields. In recent years, AI and ML techniques have been gaining importance as tools to provide intelligence to the IoT. With increased intelligence, the goal of AI-enabled IoT is to provide better heterogeneous connectivity, ubiquitous coverage, reduced network and device complexity, enhanced power savings, and enhanced resource management.

However, due to the deployment of AI-based intelligence for IoT applications, a new set of problems, challenges, risks, and vulnerabilities have been introduced. Thus, it is important to address the challenges provided by intelligent cyberattacks that are targeted towards AI-based IoT.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Security and privacy issues in intelligent industrial IoT
  • Security and privacy issues in intelligent medical IoT
  • Security and privacy issues in intelligent smart city IoT
  • Security and privacy issues in vehicular IoT
  • Security and privacy issues of blockchain technologies for AI-enabled IoT
  • Security and privacy issues in intelligent edge network
  • Attack models for AI-enabled IoT systems
  • Adversarial learning in AI-enabled IoT systems
  • AI-based intrusion detection in IoT systems
  • Federated learning-based security techniques in intelligent IoT systems
  • Experimental testbeds for testing security in AI-enabled IoT systems

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. 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.

Existing machine learning-based malware traffic recognition techniques can effectively detect abnormal behaviors in the network. However, almost all of them focus on a closed-set scenario in which the data used for training and testing come from the same label space. Since sophisticated malware and advanced persistent threats are evolving, it is impossible to exhaust all attacks to train a complete recognition model under the existing technical conditions. Therefore, recognition in the real network is an open-set problem, i.e., the recognition system should identify unknown and unseen attacks at test time. In this paper, we propose an uncertainty-aware method to identify known malicious traffic accurately and handle unknown traffic effectively. This method employs predictive uncertainty in deep learning as an indicator for unknown class detection. The predictive uncertainty represents the confidence in neural network predictions. In particular, the Deep Evidence Malware Traffic Recognition (DEMTR) model is presented to provide the multi-classification probability and predictive uncertainty in open-set scenarios using evidential deep learning. We demonstrate the performance of DEMTR on the MCFP dataset. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the baseline methods in accuracy and F1-score. Full article
