Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, next-generation networks (NGN) play an important role in the telecommunication sector, having a colossal importance for future research. NGN communication is ameliorating the world’s lives by providing round-the-clock connectivity together with a high data transfer, and includes a number of promising architectures such as the Internet of Things, personal wireless networks (body area wireless sensor networks, as well as wireless sensor and actuator networks), wireless mesh networks, next-generation internet, cloud computing and virtualized networks, 5G/6G network, and machine-to-machine networks. The NGN communication must be secure and preserve the privacy of its users, requiring innovative methods to address the continuous and emerging security threats.
This Special Issue offers researchers, academics, and industries an opportunity to debate the different issues related to security and privacy in next-generation networks, contributing to relevant theoretical and practical solutions, and the exploration of areas related to the theory, applications, development, experiences, and evaluation studies.
Topics consist of all aspects related to security and privacy issues for next-generation networks, including, but not limited to:
- Security and privacy models;
- Risk models;
- Vulnerability assessment;
- Mobile identity management;
- Authentication and access policies;
- Privacy-aware network solutions and architectures;
- Security and privacy issues for the Internet of Things;
- Security and privacy issues in wireless networks and 5G/6G mobile networks;
- Security management of machine-to-machine networks;
- Forensics analysis;
- Malwares and botnets;
- Cyber threat intelligence;
- Intrusion and fraud detection;
- Socio-economic issues;
- Application to industrial contexts.
