Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity presents both notable challenges and promising opportunities. IoT devices, renowned for their versatile functionalities and resource limitations, play pivotal roles across diverse domains such as Smart Homes, Smart Cities, and the Industrial Internet. However, these devices are vulnerable to a range of security threats, underscoring the critical need for robust security solutions and protocols.
This special issue aims to gather contributions from leading-edge researchers and industry experts to address critical issues in IoT security from a mathematical perspective. To achieve this goal, our focus will be on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Designing and Validating Security Protocols for IoT Environments
- Developing Formal/Mathematical Proofs for Security Protocols in IoT
- Developing Automated Software Verification for IoT Security Protocols
- Designing and Implementing Quantum-Proof Security Protocols for IoT
- Addressing Challenges and Implementing Solutions: Decentralized (Blockchain-based) Security for IoT
- Designing suitable cryptosystems for IoT and verifying their hard problems
- Designing privacy-preserving and anonymous protocols for IoT using creative mathematical-based approaches

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. Mathematics 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 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.
