Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue is dedicated to the 1st International Workshop on Security and Reliability of IoT Systems (SecRIoT 2019), devoted to topics related to recent trends and progress made in the field of the secure design, deployment, and operation of current and future IoT systems. SecRIoT 2019 will take place on the beautiful island of Santorini, Greece, 29–31 May 2019, collocated with the 15th Annual International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2019).
In the coming years, more than 20 billion devices will be interconnected. The Internet of Things provides unparalleled opportunities for the development of novel services. Currently, most of the new electronic devices are offering basic-to-advanced networking capabilities in the context of smart environments. Newer vehicles are partially or completely autonomous, powered by modern microprocessors, hundreds of sensors, and Internet-enabled services. The same applies to robotic and medical devices and almost every other advanced equipment. Despite the longstanding efforts of the scientific community to secure Internet and network communications, operating systems and software applications, only a limited amount of this knowledge has been applied to IoT ecosystems. Most of the IoT devices, including modern vehicles, suffer from numerous and multilayered vulnerabilities. Aiming to reduce the cost and minimize the time to market of their products, minimal or no effort is put towards securing and supporting them sufficiently. Worse, there are recorded cases of IoT devices delivered with preinstalled malware, demonstrating a total lack of operations security in the supply chain. In contrast with software applications in PCs and mobile devices, the owners are not likely to replace their devices because of security problems. As a consequence, these systems remain vulnerable for extended periods. Recent very large-scale DDoS attacks based and executed entirely by IoT botnets signify the magnitude of the problem. This is an open call for contributions to both SecRIoT 2019 and this issue.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT security and privacy;
- IoT intrusion detection and prevention systems;
- Cyber physical security and IoT;
- Secure design methodologies for IoT Systems;
- Secure hardware and software codesign;
- Development of secure embedded systems;
- Secure embedded operation systems;
- IoT malware;
- Autonomous vehicles cybersecurity;
- Secure network protocols for IoT systems;
- IoT and blockchain;
- Secure manufacturing process of IoT devices;
- Privacy protection in IoT environments;
- Security and privacy of medical devices;
- IoT trust and reliability;
- Reliable robotic devices.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
