Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expanding interconnectivity of sensors and the escalating complexity of systems have underscored significant weaknesses in privacy and security. This Special Issue intends to highlight advanced research and novel solutions that tackle the continuously changing difficulties in sensor networks. This issue will examine improvements in secure design techniques, threat detection mechanisms, and hardware-based cryptographic implementations, focusing on protecting sensor networks, IoT devices, embedded systems, and high-performance computing architectures. This Special Issue aims to thoroughly understand the present status and future trajectories of privacy and security frameworks by integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, thereby promoting collaboration among academia, industry, and government entities to develop robust and resilient systems.

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.
