Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), information security issues have become increasingly severe. A large number of IoT devices being connected to a network provides a huge attack surface for network attacks and information leaks. Many researchers have aimed to utilize the latest techniques to achieve effective information security defense for the IoT. Many advanced methods such as natural language processing, information theory, and artificial intelligence techniques have already been widely used in specific areas. However, due to how rapidly the technology is evolving and new situations are being created, there are still many unsolved issues, such as IoT device security detection, threat intelligence extraction, malware classification, and attack attribution.
Therefore, this Special Issue intends to explore new approaches and perspectives on IoT security topics. This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- IoT device security detection;
- IoT threat intelligence extraction;
- IoT system malware classification;
- IoT system or network attack attribution;
- IoT system vulnerability mining and analysis;
- IoT privacy data leak detection and classification;
- IoT social network analysis.
