Mobile Networks and Applications - Call for Papers: Security and Privacy in New Computing Environments
Overview:
The existing computing paradigms and computing environments have evolved rapidly owing to the great developments and advancements in sensing, computing and communication technology coupled with the cyberspace-based supporting technologies such as edge computing, cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), blockchain, metaverse and other mobile computing environments. For example, IoT is being adopted in more and more real-world applications and is devoted to make "Everything Smart" like smart wearables, home automation, smart health, smart manufacturing, smart transportation and even smart city. While considerable attention has been given to addressing IoT security and privacy issues, many questions are left unresolved. What’s more, with the reduction of the price and volume of IoT devices, and accordingly growing application of IoT devices, we are bound to see an increase in the number of security and privacy issues.
Besides, as a promising decentralized transaction and data management technology, blockchain illustrates a good potential to lay new foundations for our socio-economic systems by effectively building trust among people/machines, lowering cost in companies/organizations, and increasing utilization of resources. In recent years, we have seen an ever-growing research interest in this field, and the main reason is its essential properties that provide security, anonymity, and data integrity without any third-party organization in control of the transactions. On the other hand, its advancement should be further equipped with better privacy, scalability, efficiency, and higher flexibility for mobile networks and applications.
This special issue aims to bring together contributions from researchers and practitioners working in the security and privacy of the above-mentioned new computing environments for mobile networks and applications. We seek high-quality articles presenting state-of-the-art security and privacy research.
