Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the ever-evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force, particularly within the realms of information security and cryptography. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, traditional security measures are struggling to safeguard sensitive data and systems effectively. This Special Issue, entitled "Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in Information Security and Cryptography", delves into the cutting-edge integration of AI algorithms with information security and cryptographic practices. It aims to compile the latest research findings, practical applications, and theoretical foundations that underscore the synergistic relationship between AI algorithms and these two crucial fields. By doing so, it endeavors to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI is reshaping information security and cryptography, and to inspire further innovative advancements.
