Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Computers, original research articles and reviews are welcome. The main topic of research is cyber security. Novel technologies and methods that can be used in cyber security fields are acceptable. Example research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Using blockchain technologies on cyber security solutions;
- Using LLMs, deep learning and active learning on cyber security solutions;
- IoT, virtualization and cloud computing security;
- Security and privacy issues in metaverse;
- Using pot-quantum cryptographic solutions;
- Secure smart contracts;
- Cyber-attacks on blockchain technology;
- Novel cyber-crimes on social media using deepfake technology.
Recently, most daily life activities have moved into the digital world. These days, it is easier to get benefits from online transactions because many people can be easily manipulated by cyber attackers. According to recent scientific reports, in 2025, cybercrimes will cost the world economy about USD 10 trillion, and cybercrime will be one of the most profitable sectors worldwide. It can be clearly understood that the number of cyber-related crimes are increasing in high volumes, and there is no feasible technique or method which can effectively stop the attackers. When cyber defenders find new solutions to the known attacks, cybercriminals find new attacks which have not been seen before. In other words, most of the time, the cybercriminals are one step ahead. Using new technologies, such as blockchain, smart contracts, virtualization, LLMs, deep learning, active learning, and post-quantum crypto, can be one of the most promising solutions in the cyber security area. Thus, in this Special Issue, we expect original research articles as well as review papers that may apply various new technologies and methods in the cyber security field. This Special Issue will present new ideas on cyber security, expand scholars domain knowledge, and provide possible efficient solutions against cybercriminals.
