Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blockchain and privacy-preserving techniques can provide security guarantees for the construction of digital government and digital economy. Security infrastructure needs to be adapted to support all kinds of application environments, such as dynamic and rapid changes in network topology, intermittent connection, limited source terminals, low-latency demand, privacy protection in terms of the publisher's location, and subscription.
Blockchain is a public ledger that does not rely on a single source. Blockchain provides undeniability for users, but it disregards user data privacy, thus posing a need for a combined overview of the efforts of recent years to address both security and privacy issues in application systems.
In this Special Issue, we aim to focus on the following research areas: blockchain-based cryptography, privacy-preserving, and cybersecurity systems. The Special Issue aims to focus on data confidentiality protection, data access control, and private-preserving systems, with contradiction and unity between security, scalability, and efficiency. Additionally, we invite authors to submit their abstracts, modeling and exploring methods in terms of scalability authorization control over ciphertext aggregating, access, write and search, etc. The following items in particular will be considered: ciphertext confidentiality, forward security and backward security on dynamic privilege management, and resistance of collusion.
