Digital Security and Privacy Protection: Trends and Applications, 3nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Since digital data, such as personal information, corporate business secrets, and important national facilities, are stored and utilized in the institution's server or cloud server, they are protected and managed by a high-level information protection program. In recent decades, informatization and digitization have fundamentally changed the way we work and have exposed security issues for individuals and businesses. With the technological development of new technologies such as IoT and AI, interest has been taken in the increase and utilization of data. In addition, new methods of acquiring data have been introduced. Data analysis is being studied for valuable uses of data, and it is being actively studied in academia, companies, and governments. However, since sensitive digital data can be used as ransomware, research is also needed to solve this problem.

This Special Issue aims to advance the state of the art by gathering original research in the field of software-intensive systems, fundamental connections between the theory of information protection and extensive research on security issues for digital assets and various IT systems and devices. There is no limit to the broad content of various computer engineering topics outside the subject of this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Cheonshik Kim
