Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue presents the latest research findings on novel theories and approaches to security and privacy. Over the years, researchers have tried to break through traditional security and privacy methods and have made a lot of progress, for instance, with quantum computers, which has severely challenged traditional conservation methods. Moreover, with continuous improvements in security- and privacy-related laws, the standard of protection is also constantly improving. In order to meet the requirements of the new era and cope with the ever-changing means of attack, it is necessary to develop new, non-traditional methods and innovate traditional methods, such as lattice-based, zero-knowledge proof, blockchain, and secure deep learning and machine learning. We welcome the latest research findings that suggest theories and practical solutions for security and privacy.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Lattice-based methods;
  2. Zero-knowledge proof and secure multi-party computation;
  3. Machine learning with novel secure privacy protection;
  4. Blockchain with novel secure privacy protection;
  5. Internet of Things with novel secure protection;
  6. Other innovative security and privacy protection methods.

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. Electronics 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.
