Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of the Internet of things (IoT), privacy and security have become the primary problems in IoT applications in the big data era. This Special Issue discusses the current challenges and solutions to secure IoT devices and applications to protect the security and privacy of all kinds of users’ data. A variety of IoT security and privacy solutions for protecting IoT data at the device layer, the IoT platform layer, and the IoT application layer have been developed. Ensuring end-to-end security and privacy across these IoT layers is a great challenge in IoT-related applications. The objective of this Special Issue is to explore the recent advances that address the fundamental and practical challenges related to security and privacy in IoT. High-quality original research and review articles in this area are expected. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Privacy and Security in IoT and big data;
- Secure data sharing in IoT;
- Secure data analysis in IoT;
- Privacy protection computing in IoT
- Security, privacy and trust mechanisms in IoT and big data;
- Privacy preserving in IoT;
- Privacy enhanced computing in IoT;
- Cyber attacks in IoT and big data;
- Software security vulnerability analysis and mining in IoT;
- Machine-learning and privacy protection in IoT and big data.
