Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computer systems and networks are the foundation of modern society, and their security is critical to the security of the entire information system. However, vulnerabilities and attacks seriously threaten the security of data and finance, which also indicates that current computer systems and networks are not fully secure. In fact, the security of computer systems and networks has become a focus of recent research and attracted greater attention from researchers and industry.
Computer systems and networks are becoming increasingly complex and diverse; therefore, it is now urgent to detect the potential vulnerabilities of these networks and design security policies. This Special Issue focuses on innovative solutions to key challenges involving the vulnerability mining and defense strategies of computer systems and networks, and examines the application of novel technologies and methods in the field of computer security.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Methods for vulnerability mining or security analysis.
- Fuzzing technologies for security analysis of computer system.
- Formal verification methods for security analysis of software.
- New vulnerabilities and their exploitation in computer systems and networks.
- The reverse-engineering and security analysis of block-box software.
- Security-enhanced strategies for computer systems and networks.
- Secure software architectures or frameworks.
- Secure software and network designs.
- Artificial intelligence-assisted security analysis and the design of countermeasures.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
