Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Web 3.0 is often referred to as the third generation of the Internet, encompassing the concept of a distributed network and decentralized applications, with the aim of creating a more open, interconnected, and intelligent network environment. Web 3.0 advances blockchain applications by addressing scalability, improving interoperability, fostering decentralized finance, enhancing smart contract capabilities, and prioritizing user-centric experiences. These advancements contribute to the broader adoption and integration of blockchain technology in various industries and use cases.
The open and autonomous nature of Web 3.0 brings about new innovation opportunities; however, it also poses new challenges to the security and privacy of the research community. The key research focus for security and privacy in the context of Web 3.0 is how to protect data security and user privacy in a distributed and decentralized network environment. This includes specific areas such as blockchain technology, decentralized identity authentication, advanced encryption techniques, and secure smart contract development.
