Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modern society, various cryptosystems, encompassing both software-based and hardware-based solutions, have been developed to protect private data. As for software-based cryptosystems, various encryption algorithms have been applied in people’s daily lives, where different cryptosystems have been developed for different applications. Furthermore, with the development of quantum computing and optical computing, researchers have proposed hardware-based cryptosystems, offering significantly higher encryption speeds and enhanced security levels.
Despite rising concerns about private data, cryptosystems continue to be a focal point of long-term research. To evaluate the proposed cryptosystems, it is essential to investigate various attack methods, such as the rapidly evolving neural network-based techniques, to identify potential vulnerabilities. Additionally, as an emerging technology, hardware-based cryptosystems have garnered considerable research interest. However, their practical applications remain limited and warrant further exploration.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest advancements and research findings on cryptosystems, emphasizing the development of both software-based and hardware-based methods. We welcome contributions that address encryption algorithms, innovative attack methods, quantum and optical computing advancements, etc.

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).
