Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Cyber Security in Sensor Networks. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and experts to share their latest findings, innovative ideas, and significant advancements in the field of cyber security as it pertains to sensor networks. Our goal is to foster a collaborative and comprehensive exploration of the current challenges, emerging trends, and cutting-edge solutions in securing sensor networks, and to provide a platform for disseminating high-quality research that can drive further developments and applications in this area.
Scope and Topics
Sensor networks are integral to many critical applications, including environmental monitoring, healthcare, smart cities, home and industrial automation, disaster management and response, and energy management. Ensuring the security of these networks is paramount to protect sensitive data and maintain the integrity and availability of services.
This Special Issue, entitled “Cyber Security in Sensor Networks”, seeks high-quality, original research papers, case studies, and review articles on various aspects of cybersecurity in sensor networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Threat Detection and Mitigation;
- Intrusion Detection Systems;
- Secure Communication Protocols;
- Analysis of network and security protocols;
- Cryptographic Solutions;
- Privacy Protection;
- Authentication and Access Control;
- Network Security;
- IoT Security;
- Resource-Constrained Security Solutions;
- Cyber-Physical Systems Security
- Unmanned System Security for Vehicles
- Machine Learning for Security;
- Sensor network data fusion and data aggregation;
- IoT including: IoMT, IoFT and IoD, IIOT;
- Wireless body area network (WBAN).
