Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As cybersecurity becomes increasingly critical across all sectors, ubiquitous vulnerabilities continue to cause massive financial losses globally. Adopting a "Secure by Design" approach is widely recognized as the most effective strategy to mitigate these risks, with cryptography serving as a primary defense. Consequently, innovation in cryptographic techniques and privacy-preserving technologies is vital to secure the digital world. This Special Issue aims to address emerging challenges in cryptography, seeking novel primitives, security models, and constructions that enhance data privacy and resolve open problems. We invite you to submit your research outcomes to this Special Issue.
Submissions of original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- IoT security, lightweight security, and cyber-physical systems (CPSs).
- Privacy-enhancing technologies, anonymity and privacy attacks/defenses, and adversarial privacy.
- Key management, security protocols, and digital forensics.
