Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Privacy and authentication are crucial aspects of modern communication networks, which are becoming increasingly interconnected and ubiquitous. With the proliferation of smart devices, IoT applications, and cloud-based services, ensuring privacy and authentication is of paramount importance. In recent years, many research works have been proposed to address the multiple security and privacy issues in communication networks. Unfortunately, the existing works still have drawbacks and limitations in terms of functionality or performance when considering the security of the designs. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and solutions in the fields of privacy and authentication for communication networks. We invite original research contributions, reviews, and case studies on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Privacy-preserving protocols for communication networks;
- Authentication mechanisms for 5G and beyond;
- Privacy and security issues in IoT networks and edge computing;
- Privacy-aware data sharing in cloud-based services;
- Threat modeling and risk assessment for communication networks;
- Biometric-based authentication and identification methods;
- Machine learning approaches to enhance privacy and authentication;
- Blockchain-based solutions for secure communication;
- Privacy-enhancing technologies for social networks and messaging apps;
- Usability and user-centric design of authentication systems;
- Cryptographic algorithms and systems for secure communication.

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. Future Internet 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 1600 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.
