Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing adoption of intelligent networks, including 5G and IoT, and next-generation communication systems has brought new opportunities for innovation across various industries. However, with the proliferation of connected devices and data-intensive applications, security and privacy concerns have become critical challenges. This Special Issue of Technologies, entitled "Research on Security and Privacy of Data and Networks", aims to address these concerns by exploring novel approaches, frameworks, and technologies to safeguard data and ensure privacy in intelligent network environments. The focus will be on securing the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data while enabling privacy-preserving mechanisms that comply with global regulations. This publication will feature research on advanced encryption techniques, secure data transmission protocols, intrusion detection systems, and privacy-enhancing technologies. It will also explore the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in detecting and mitigating security threats in intelligent networks. As intelligent networks grow, understanding the vulnerabilities and risks associated with data sharing, storage, and transmission becomes increasingly important for ensuring the protection of sensitive information.
