Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the fields of information security and data privacy have witnessed significant advancements, with novel techniques and methodologies emerging to safeguard computing infrastructure and critical information in an increasingly connected world. The scope of the Special Issue “Recent Advances in Information Security and Data Privacy, 2nd Edition”, covers the theory, applications, and implementations of information security and data privacy. It aims to showcase the latest research, developments, and advances in information security and data privacy, encompassing a wide range of topics from system and network security to security foundations and content protection, as well as from differential privacy and homomorphic encryption to federated learning and secure multi-party computation.
In this Special Issue, we are looking for original and creative research covering multiple fields of information security and data privacy. Research papers using theoretical, technical, and/or practical approaches, as well as survey papers, are all welcome. We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to:
Topics:
- Threat, intrusion, and anomaly detection for the Internet;
- Operating system, database, and computing infrastructure security;
- Internet, firewall, and mobile security;
- Encryption and decryption algorithms in information security;
- Privacy, access control, and authentication;
- Anti-virus and anti-hacker techniques;
- Detection and prevention of stepping-stone intrusion;
- Differential privacy and its applications;
- Homomorphic encryption and secure computation;
- Federated learning and decentralized machine learning techniques;
- Privacy-preserving machine learning algorithms and methodologies;
- Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies for enhancing data privacy;
- Post-quantum cryptography and its implications for data security;
- Ethical considerations and fairness in privacy-preserving technologies;
- Privacy in IoT and sensor networks;
- User-centric privacy tools and technologies;
- Compliance with data privacy regulations and legal frameworks.
