Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Internet of Things expands, the need for robust cybersecurity measures becomes increasingly critical. This Special Issue aims to explore and address these IoT security challenges.
Our focus areas include AI-assisted trustworthy architecture examining how artificial intelligence can enhance security through generating new trust models in IoT systems, cyber security analytics for IoT Applications looking at how data analytics can help detect and prevent cyber threats in IoT, and information privacy, a crucial aspect given the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices.
This issue will also delve into machine learning security for IoT applications, exploring how machine learning can enhance IoT security, and secure protocol design focusing on developing secure communication protocols for IoT systems.
Other important research topics for IoT systems include device identity and authentication, access control and management, and API security, all of which are fundamental to maintaining the integrity and security of IoT applications.
Finally, we are interested in exploring how zero trust architecture, a security model that assumes no trust and verifies everything, could be realized in IoT environments.
We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their valuable insights and join us in advancing the field of IoT cybersecurity.
Papers on, but not limited to, the following topics are welcome:
- IoT Security
- AI-assisted Trust-worthy Architecture in IoT Environments
- Cyber Security Analytics for IoT Applications
- Information Privacy and Data Privacy in IoT Environments
- Machine Learning Security for IoT Applications
- Secure Protocol Design for IoT Environments
- Device Identity and Authentication for IoT Systems
- Access Control and Management for IoT Systems
- API Security for IoT Applications
- Zero Trust Architecture in IoT Environments

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.
