New Trends in Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

Propose a Topic

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

As cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication, traditional security models are increasingly being pushed to their limits, driving the need for more advanced technological solutions. Key innovations include artificial intelligence for intrusion detection, Zero Trust Architecture for access control, and blockchain to ensure data integrity. A critical area of focus is the integration of privacy-enhancing technologies, designed to protect sensitive information while maintaining usability.

Simultaneously, the emergence of quantum computing presents a formidable challenge to existing cryptographic standards. In response, the field of post-quantum cryptography is rapidly gaining momentum, with research efforts focused on developing algorithms capable of resisting quantum-based attacks and ensuring long-term data security.

The aim of this Topic is to contribute to the advancement of cybersecurity and data privacy by bringing together cutting-edge research from both theoretical and applied perspectives. We invite authors to submit original and innovative manuscripts on topics including the following:

  • Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity;
  • Zero Trust Architecture;
  • Blockchain and Data Integrity;
  • Privacy-Enhancing Technologies;
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography;
  • Impact of Quantum Computing on Cryptography;
  • Regulatory and Legal Aspects of Data Privacy;
  • Cybersecurity in the Internet of Things (IoT);
  • Cybersecurity in Industrial Control Systems;
  • Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing;
  • Cybersecurity in Emerging Technologies;
  • Advanced Threats and Intrusion Detection Techniques;
  • Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure;
  • AI and Privacy in the Digital Ecosystem;
  • Security and Privacy in Mobile and Wearable Technologies;
  • Cybersecurity Risk Management and Resilience;
  • Cybersecurity in Autonomous and Edge Computing Systems;
  • Human-Centric Cybersecurity.

Preprints

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.

ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.

iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.

iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.

v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
