Advances in Security Enforcement for Intelligent Wireless Communication

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of 5G/6G technology, wireless communication has become an integral part of our daily lives, enabling seamless connectivity across various devices and applications. The advent of intelligent technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), has further revolutionized wireless communication, leading to the emergence of intelligent wireless communication systems. However, with the increasing complexity and connectivity of these systems, security has become a paramount concern. Malicious actors are constantly devising new ways to exploit the vulnerabilities in wireless networks, posing significant threats to user privacy, data integrity, and the overall functionality of intelligent wireless communication systems.

This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers and professionals to exchange knowledge and insights on future challenges and potential solutions in security enforcement for intelligent wireless communication. By addressing these security concerns, we can pave the way for secure intelligent wireless communication networks that will support the digital transformation and connectivity needs of the future.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Their research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Security enforcement methods for 5G/6G mobile networks;
• Security enforcement methods for the Internet of Things;
• Security enforcement methods for satellite communication networks;
• Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for security issues in wireless communication;
• Crypto-security protocols in wireless communication;
• Lightweight cryptography algorithms and their applications in wireless communication;
• Vulnerability detection and security enforcement methods in intelligent wireless communication;
• Network slicing security technologies for 5G/6G mobile networks;
• Security and privacy preservation technologies for intelligent wireless communication;
• Attack and defence methods in intelligent wireless communication;
• Cloud computing and edge computing security technologies for wireless communication;
• Anomaly and attack detection in wireless mobile networks.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
