Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cloud-based system consists of a combination of hardware and software hosted by a third party. It provides significant benefits and has been widely adopted in various industries. Despite the benefits, the system has various security and privacy concerns. In particular, the volume of attacks on the cloud-based system is constantly increasing, with the number more than doubling in 2019 according to the 2020 Trustwave Global Security Report. Additionally, as a result of the system complexity and its dependencies on the cloud-assisted system, cyber-attacks are likely to increase. There is a pressing need to develop techniques and methods to deal with the new generation of cloud-specific cyber attacks, which pose various potential risks for the cloud-based system.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to enhance knowledge of secure and privacy-aware cloud computing in both the industry and research communities. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and applied articles addressing new approaches, research results, case studies, and best practices.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Security and privacy modeling in the cloud-based system;
- Requirements engineering;
- Security/privacy/trust issues in cloud models;
- Vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure;
- Cyber threat intelligence models for the cloud-based system;
- Identity and access management;
- Secure data sharing and management in the cloud;
- Privacy-enhanced technology in cloud computing;
- Secure cloud storage;
- Concepts, theory, standardization and modeling, and methodologies for sensor-cloud systems;
- Attack prediction and prevention using machine learning;
- Multitenancy related security/privacy issues.

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.
