The growing use of digital technologies in everyday life and industry makes data security and privacy protection particularly important. Advances in applied cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies are now key elements in the development of trusted and resilient information systems.
The aim of this special issue is to present the latest research, solutions, and practices in applied cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies in modern communication, industrial, and cyber-physical systems. The issue combines theoretical and applied work, focusing on the development of security protocols, authentication, and data protection mechanisms that are efficient, scalable, and user-friendly. Of particular interest are works demonstrating the integration of cryptographic methods with IoT technologies, biometrics, artificial intelligence, and distributed systems. The issue also aims to demonstrate the practical applications of these solutions and their impact on trust, privacy, and security in modern digital infrastructures.
Suggested Themes:
- Cryptography Applied to IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems
- Secure and Lightweight Communication Protocols for Resource-Constrained Environments
- Biometric Authentication and User Privacy Protection
- Identity Verification and Key Management in Distributed Systems
- Analyzing the Resistance of Cryptographic Systems to Modern Attacks
- Integrating Cryptography with Artificial Intelligence Methods
- Formal Models and Verification of Security Protocols
