Thus, this Special Issue highlights the balance between protecting user privacy and enabling data-driven innovation while addressing ethical considerations and ensuring regulatory compliance.
The topic includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Web security;
- Mobile systems security;
- Distributed systems security;
- Cloud computing security;
- Intrusion and anomaly detection and prevention;
- Network infrastructure security;
- Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures;
- Wireless security;
- Analysis of network and security protocols;
- ML and AI applications to security and privacy;
