Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides the ability to connect and remotely manage a huge number of (embedded) devices that constantly collect and share information about their environments. Typically, IoT devices are pervasive and can be found in very diverse environments—from factories to hospitals, commercial building, and private houses. Given their pervasiveness, IoT devices may collect and handle a large amount of very sensitive data. Billions of additional connected devices in new locations and applications also increase the risk of cyber or physical attack, criminal subversion, and terrorism. Therefore, securing these devices and ensuring data privacy are of paramount importance.
With this Special Issue, we would like to solicit interested authors to submit previously unpublished contributions in several aspects of the IoT, with particular emphasis on data handling, security and privacy. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Preserving Privacy in IoT
Efficient Cryptography for IoT Devices
Authentication
IoT and the Cloud
Secure Communication
Securing Data
Key Management
Accountability
Anonymity
Resilient IoT Architecture
Physical Security
Trust Management
Audit and Provenance Management

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).
