Advances in Mathematical Cryptography and Information Security with Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present innovative approaches, emerging trends, and cutting-edge technologies in mathematical cryptography and information security. It encompasses the development of novel encryption techniques grounded in number theory and the mathematical foundations that underpin cryptographic protocols. The study of cryptanalysis alongside these algorithms plays a crucial role in identifying potential weaknesses strengthening security measures.

Another key area of focus is the exploration of cryptographic algorithms and their practical applications across diverse domains—ranging from securing financial transactions to safeguarding sensitive personal information. This includes research on cryptographic protocols for secure communication and data protection, as well as the integration of machine learning to enhance cryptographic methods and detect vulnerabilities in real time, paving the way for adaptive security systems.

Emerging challenges and opportunities are also being explored in quantum cryptography and blockchain security. These rapidly evolving fields are gaining prominence efforts to protect data against quantum computing threats and to establish trust in decentralized systems like blockchain. The intersection of quantum technologies with cryptographic systems offers exciting prospects for secure communication methods that are resilient against future technological advancements.
