Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid proliferation of IoT devices, including small sensors and CCTV systems, has revolutionized industries such as surveillance, healthcare, smart cities, and critical infrastructure monitoring. However, the pervasive connectivity and heterogeneity of these systems expose them to significant cybersecurity challenges, including data tampering, unauthorized access, and advanced persistent threats. This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to securing IoT ecosystems with a focus on CCTV systems and small sensors.
Key themes include designing lightweight cryptographic protocols, anomaly detection techniques, and federated learning models tailored for resource-constrained IoT devices. Submissions exploring hardware-based security enhancements, blockchain-enabled authentication, and quantum-resistant algorithms for IoT security are also encouraged.
By fostering advancements in secure IoT frameworks, this Special Issue aims to address vulnerabilities, promote data integrity, and ensure the reliability of IoT-based applications, aligning closely with the scope of Sensors. Topics may range from theoretical foundations to practical implementations, bridging gaps between sensor technology, IoT networks, and cybersecurity.

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. Sensors 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.
