Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has revolutionized various sectors, from healthcare and smart homes to industrial automation and urban infrastructure. However, this surge in connectivity brings significant challenges in ensuring the security and privacy of the vast amounts of data generated and transmitted by these devices. Our upcoming Special Issue aims to address these critical concerns by exploring innovative solutions, emerging threats, and advancements in securing IoT ecosystems. We seek to gather cutting-edge research and practical insights that will contribute to the development of robust security frameworks and privacy-preserving techniques in the IoT era.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT security protocols and architectures;
- Privacy-preserving techniques in IoT;
- Threat detection and mitigation in IoT environments;
- Secure communication in IoT networks;
- Case studies and real-world applications.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies. Please submit your summaries within 5 days. For any questions or assistance, feel free to contact us.
