Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing reliance on digital systems for communication, commerce, and critical infrastructure has amplified the need for robust cryptography and information security solutions. This Special Issue, titled “Theoretical and Applied Mathematics in Cryptography and Information Security”, aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present innovative approaches, emerging trends, and cutting-edge technologies that address the evolving challenges in this domain. The scope of the Special Issue includes research in cryptographic methods, the development of secure systems, and applied solutions to safeguard data and privacy. Topics of interest include the mathematical foundations of cryptography, cryptanalysis, post-quantum cryptography, and applications of mathematics in information security, such as secure protocols, privacy-enhancing technologies, and lightweight cryptographic solutions. The Issue is designed to highlight both theoretical advancements and practical applications, fostering a deeper understanding of modern security threats and effective mitigation strategies. It will serve as a valuable resource for academics, professionals, and policymakers, offering insights into the future trajectory of cryptography and information security.
