Future Innovations in Cryptography for Authentication and Data Security
This special issue belongs to the section “Networks“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews.
This Special Issue explores the future innovation of cryptographic technology in the field of identity authentication and data security. With the development of emerging technologies such as quantum computing, edge computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, traditional cryptographic schemes are facing unprecedented challenges but also opportunities for transformation. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research results and explore cutting-edge topics, including quantum-resistant cryptography, lightweight encryption, privacy-preserving protocols, and new identity authentication mechanisms, providing innovative paths for data protection and identity authentication in the digital world.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Guosheng Xu
Guest Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
