Summary
The progress in quantum computing is an imminent threat to traditional cryptographic systems, making them vulnerable to novel quantum-enabled attacks. In response, researchers and practitioners are actively developing cryptographic methods and security solutions designed to withstand these emerging threats. In addition, innovative approaches combining chaos theory and intelligent threat detection are transforming how we detect and respond to cyber threats. These advancements are rapidly reshaping the modern cybersecurity landscape requiring immediate attention.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research in post-quantum cryptography, chaotic encryption, and advanced intrusion detection methodologies. Submissions that propose novel algorithms, theoretical advancements, and robust practical implementations within these security domains are invited. Research exploring emerging security applications, comprehensive performance evaluations, and interdisciplinary perspectives that enhance real-world applicability and effectiveness of security solutions for future computing are especially encouraged.
Suggested themes:
- Design and analysis of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms and Security Frameworks
