Cryptography and Security Protocol in Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

Recent progress in IoT, including IIoT and the increased capability of digesting harvested data, has created many cutting-edge applications that are being deployed in the field, such as smart transportation, industry 4.0, home automation, etc. At the same time, the complexity of typical IoT systems makes it harder to meet the ever-growing security/privacy demands. As the core of security/privacy protection schemes, all aspects related to cryptographic tools and protocols customized for IoT applications are of the utmost importance to fully unleash the potential of IoT.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• New cryptographic tools that mitigate existing security/privacy concerns for IoT systems.
• Engineering-focused works on cryptographic tools and protocols for IoT systems.
• Benchmarking and testbeds for IoT-oriented cryptographic tools and protocols.
• Position papers on the future research directions of cryptography and secure protocol for IoT.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
