Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of IoT has led to an unprecedented volume of sensor data being generated and transmitted, making data security and privacy critical concerns. This Special Issue focuses on protecting IoT sensor data, exploring key challenges and solutions in this domain.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Attack Vectors and Vulnerabilities: Node capturing, malicious code injection, false data injection, and side-channel attacks.
- Data Encryption: Use of AES, TLS, and post-quantum cryptography for secure data transmission.
- Authentication and Access Control: Multi-factor authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and secure login credentials.
- Privacy-Preserving Mechanisms: Data anonymization, differential privacy, and secure data aggregation.
- Secure Communication: Implementation of secure protocols like HTTPS and MQTT with TLS.
- Blockchain for IoT Security: Decentralized and tamper-proof data storage solutions.
- Security for Cloud-Network-End: Techniques for ensuring security of cloud data, cloud computation, cloud network, and end terminals for cloud.
- Security for UAV: Techniques for ensuring security of UAV communication, UAV control, UAV data and others.
