Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of information technology, especially the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), cloud and edge computing, big data analytics, etc., in recent years has made the security of information in storage and during transmission crucial in any modern information system.
Today, billions of people around the world are inter-connected through digital networks to enable the exchange and sharing of information of all kinds, making security and privacy serious issues in various applications. Attacks of all kinds, such as hacking, impersonation, traffic analysis, etc., cause devastating violations to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information to which modern cryptography algorithms and technologies can be applied in the development of effective solutions. Therefore, the study of the various theories, designs, implementations, analyses and applications of cryptography would be very helpful in dealing effectively and efficiently with the potential dangers of security and privacy in digital networks.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the theories and the recent trends in the development of cryptography as well as the application of cryptography in digital networks to counter security and privacy problems. To achieve the goal, this Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to contribute high-quality original research papers in the areas that cover both the theoretical and the practical aspects of cryptography.
