Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of cloud computing has transformed how data is stored, processed, and accessed, offering unparalleled scalability and cost-efficiency. However, this paradigm shift introduces significant challenges in information security. As organizations increasingly migrate their critical assets to the cloud, ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability becomes paramount. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research contributions that address the multifaceted aspects of information security in cloud computing environments. We invite submissions exploring novel theoretical frameworks, innovative algorithms, practical implementations, and comprehensive surveys related to securing cloud infrastructures, applications, and data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, access control mechanisms, data encryption techniques, secure multi-tenancy, privacy-preserving cloud computing, intrusion detection and prevention, secure virtualization, blockchain for cloud security, regulatory compliance, and post-quantum cryptography in cloud environments. The goal is to provide a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research that advances the state of the art in safeguarding information within the dynamic and complex landscape of cloud technology.
