Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry is an extraordinary characteristic which has been widely deployed in different research fields of computer engineering, such as symmetric architecture for telecommunications, symmetric network structures, and symmetric algorithms. Recently, an increasing number of organizations have embraced zero-trust technologies due to their ability to minimize risk in enforcing accurate, least privilege per-request access decisions in service applications under the circumstance of a compromised network. In a zero-trust architecture, each access request should be authenticated and evaluated whether the request is permitted no matter whether it originated from an external or internal network. In addition, unauthorized people from utilizing devices of authorized users can intrude other devices for lateral movement. Organizations need to evaluate the trustworthiness of access requests based on user behaviors and threat intelligence and adapt their associated access control policies. To date, the research community has stressed the importance of innovative technologies and integrated solutions for zero-trust. Therefore, this Special Issue solicits original and high-quality works, involving the concept of symmetry, on recent advances in innovative technologies, challenges, and solutions for zero-trust. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Trust evaluation algorithm with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Cyber threat intelligence with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Edge device risk evaluation with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Emerging innovative access control with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Novel theories, architectures, applications, and paradigms with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Security modeling with symmetry for zero-trust architecture;
- Privacy enhanced technologies with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Effectiveness evaluation and benchmark with symmetry for zero-trust;
- Advances in the use of zero-trust underlying technologies (e.g., AI, blockchain, deterministic networks, cloud/edge computing, etc.) with symmetry;
- Miscellaneous issues with symmetry for zero-trust.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
