New Trends in Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

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;
