Submission Deadline: 15 May 2023 (closed)
Advanced information and communication technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, edge computing, big data analytics, cognitive computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, have enabled innovative engineering approaches to establish novel applications and services accomplishing needs of smart human life. Example application areas are such as healthcare, energy management, transportation, environmental protection, industrial systems monitoring and controlling, entertainment and smart communities which are expected to bring advances to improve our ways of living. However, it is quite challenging to model and realize the system design, transmission protocols, resource allocation, and management of system delay when integrating these heterogeneous information and communication technologies. Meanwhile, since many applications have connected IoT devices with corporate IT and vendor systems in data centers and the cloud, the pivoting risk of the hyperconnectivity of systems has been increased in terms of various security and privacy breaches.
Therefore, this special issue aims to compile recent research efforts dedicated to the study of information security practice and experience in the above advanced information and communication technologies to keep the applications safer and a better place of livelihood. This special issue solicits original and high quality works on recent advances empowering better security and privacy protection for advanced information and communication technologies. In addition, the excellent papers of ISPEC 2022 (The 17th International Conference on Information Security Practice and Experience, https://ispec2022.ndhu.edu.tw/) will be selected and considered for inclusion in this special issue. Note that each selected paper must be substantially extended, with at least 40% difference from its conference version. All submitted papers, including the extended manuscript from ISPEC 2022, will undergo the journal's standard peer-review process.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
● Authentication, authorization and accountability
● Applied cryptography
