Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the rapidly evolving digital world, the importance of information security and cryptography cannot be overstated. The utilization of mathematical models in this domain plays a pivotal role in enhancing data protection, ensuring secure communication channels and thwarting cyber attacks. Mathematical models provide a rigorous framework for analyzing cryptographic algorithms, assessing vulnerabilities, and quantifying the degree of security. Moreover, the integration of mathematical models ensures cryptographic systems to hold desired properties such as confidentiality, authenticity, and non-repudiation. This special issue aims to explore innovative methodologies, fundamental theories and practical applications that tackle the evoling challenges in security and cryptography, offering new insights into how mathematical models can be applied to enhance the security and resilience of system.
The scope of this special issue encompasses a wide range of topics related to mathematical models in information security and cryptography. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Mathematical foundations of cryptography
- Cryptographic protocols and algorithms
- Secure multiparty computation
- Post-quantum cryptography
- Cryptanalysis and attacks
- Privacy-enhancing technologies
- Authentication and anonymity protocols
- Security and privacy in federated learning, crowdourscing and cloud computing
- Security considerations in emerging technologies such as IoT and blockchain

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.
