Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems has transformed modern technology, creating not only new opportunities but also new cybersecurity challenges. As intelligent systems become deeply embedded across industries, ensuring trust, privacy, and resilience is crucial. This Special Issue aims to explore next-generation cybersecurity strategies, frameworks, and technologies that safeguard AI-driven and interconnected environments. We welcome high-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies addressing innovative approaches in zero trust architecture, zero-knowledge proofs, quantum cryptography, blockchain security, AI-based threat detection, and other related emerging areas. The Issue seeks to advance secure system engineering and promote collaboration among researchers, engineers, and practitioners committed to building a secure and intelligent digital future.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Md Ashraf Uddin and Dr. Reza Rafeh and assisted by our Guest Editor Assistant, Dr. Nam Hoai Chu (namhoai.chu@cihe.edu.au, School of Information Technology, Crown Institute of Higher Education, Australia).
