Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the vigorous development of the Internet, information technology has dramatically brought many opportunities and conveniences to people's lives. However, these opportunities have also created serious risks in relation to information security. Therefore, there has been a tremendous increase in research in the area of network and information security.
The importance and impact of network and information security are significantly increasing. Network and information security is an interdisciplinary field that combines a set of areas including computer science, software development, data science, and communication network. As a research topic, network and information security apply scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract threats and vulnerabilities from structured and unstructured data to solve various security problems in practical applications.
Network and information security involve government, military, culture, education, finance, scientific research, energy, business, and other fields. Its research contents mainly include access control, authentication, biometrics, cryptography, cyber-physical systems, information hiding, Intrusion detection, malware, quantum cryptography, sensor networks, and usable security.
This Special Issue will discuss this trending topic and present innovative solutions to show the importance of network and information security to researchers, managers, industry, society, and other communities.
