Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, edge security has emerged as a challenge in the research community. SRC’s “The Decadal Plan for Semiconductors” also highlights securing the edge as a challenge. Modern CPS systems have an edge computing component and a cloud-hosted server component. Depending on the applications and system architecture, a large volume of data flows through multiple sensing, aggregation, decision-making layers from the edge to the cloud, mostly through a variety of IoT devices.
Not only does the data need to be protected, the provenance can also play a key role in the overall system behavior correctness.
The decision-making AI is also being distributed to edge AI and the cloud-hosted large model AI. It is crucial to determine how the data affecting the fidelity of these AI decisions should be protected.
This Special Issue seeks papers on all aspects of edge security, including the following:
- IoT security;
- Data provenance;
- Edge network security;
- AI model security;
- Hardware assisted security techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
