Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for data security against modern cryptanalysis has increased significantly due to the progress in the fields of digital data communication and computation techniques. Entropy is an essential security parameter to quantify the randomness generation capability of a cryptographic algorithm. The aim of this issue is to encourage the development of new novel cryptographic algorithms that can guarantee, both theoretically and experimentally, optimal entropy and hence high-security resistance against modern computational attacks in real time. All emerging cryptographic techniques such as image encryption techniques and text encryption techniques are within the scope of this Special Issue.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
