Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping industries, cities, and everyday life through interconnected devices that collect and exchange data. Yet as IoT networks grow, they face significant challenges in performance and security. Many IoT devices—often designed with limited processing power and minimal built-in security—are vulnerable to cyberattacks. This is especially concerning as these networks manage critical systems like smart grids, healthcare devices, and transportation infrastructure. To address these risks, innovative research is urgently needed to develop resilient network architectures, robust security protocols, and real-time monitoring tools capable of defending against evolving threats.
This Special Issue, “Securing the Future: Computational Innovations in IoT Network Resilience and Security”, seeks cutting-edge solutions to these challenges. Key areas of focus include lightweight encryption for low-power devices, AI-driven threat detection, intrusion prevention systems, and frameworks for trust management. Researchers are also exploring technologies like blockchain to enhance data integrity and decentralized security. Submissions should aim to improve IoT scalability, interoperability, and resilience while safeguarding privacy and reliability. We welcome original studies, reviews, and case studies that bridge theory and practice, ultimately contributing to secure, efficient IoT ecosystems ready to meet the demands of a hyper-connected world.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
