Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the age of rapid technological advancement, protecting personal information is of paramount importance. Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) stand as the forefront guardians, embodying fundamental data protection principles. By minimizing personal data use, maximizing data security, and empowering individuals, PETs play a pivotal role in preserving privacy in our interconnected world. These technologies empower online users to safeguard the privacy of their personally identifiable information (PII) during interactions with various services and applications, utilizing innovative techniques to reduce the possession of personal data by information systems without compromising functionality.
This Special Issue delves into the multifaceted realm of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies, exploring their impact on the digital landscape. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cryptographic protocols for secure data transmission;
- Encryption algorithms and techniques in privacy protection;
- Blockchain technology for enhancing data privacy;
- Authentication and verification methods for secure access;
- Digital signatures in ensuring data integrity and authenticity;
- Multiparty computation.
