Advances in Security for Emerging Intelligent Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid advancement of emerging intelligent systems has brought significant benefits and complex challenges to the field of cybersecurity. These technologies, which include advanced sensors integrated with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, are increasingly deployed across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and critical infrastructure. The capabilities of these intelligent systems to autonomously collect, process, and analyze data make them vital components in modern applications. However, the complexity and interconnectedness of emerging intelligent systems also make them prime targets for sophisticated cyber-attacks, posing risks to their reliable operation across various applications and industries. Ensuring the security of these systems is essential to maintain public trust, operational reliability, and the protection of sensitive data.

This Special Issue aims to address the urgent need for robust security measures to protect emerging intelligent systems from evolving threats by showcasing the latest research and innovative solutions to enhance their security and resilience against potential cyber threats. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their latest findings and insights, fostering a deeper understanding and development of security and privacy measures for these systems. We seek high-quality submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

• Data security for intelligent systems
• Attacks and defenses in sensor network
• Attacks and defenses in intelligent intrusion detection system
• Attacks and defenses in blockchain systems
• Attacks and defenses in decentralized ecosystem
• Attacks and defenses in emerging artificial intelligent technology
• Security and privacy of biometric systems
• Emerging artificial intelligent technology for intelligent systems
• Cyber-physical intelligent system security
• Privacy-preserving techniques for intelligent systems
• Privacy attacks on intelligent systems
• Security of edge and fog computing
• Secure integration of IoT devices
• Formal analyzing of for intelligent system security
• Case studies and real-world applications of intelligent system security
• Policy and governance for intelligent systems
• Regulatory and standardization of intelligent system security
• Survey of intelligent system security

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.
