Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Edge computing transforms how data generated by billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is stored, processed, analyzed, and transported.
Because of the IoT environment's unique characteristics, including distributed access control, real-time access to network information, recourse connection and limitation, many current protocols, solutions, and mechanisms exploited in IoT and cloud computing to enhance security and privacy are no longer suitable for edge computing environments. As IoT and edge computing technologies such as autonomous vehicles, remote monitoring, smart grid, in-hospital patient monitoring, and cloud computing and gaming continue to advance, the security and privacy challenges will be even further escalated. Hence, research aimed at security and privacy solutions is especially important in the fields of IoT and edge computing.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent high-quality research addressing security and privacy problems in the emerging IoT and edge computing field in both the industrial and academic research communities. High-quality contributions addressing related theoretical and practical aspects are welcome.
Potential topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Security and privacy modelling in the IoT and edge computing.
- Security and privacy issues in the IoT and edge computing.
- Secure data sharing and management in the IoT and edge computing.
- Privacy-enhanced technology in the IoT and edge computing.
- Privacy technologies and mechanisms in the IoT and edge computing.
- Authentication in the IoT and edge computing.
- Access control in the IoT and edge computing.
- Secure edge storage.
- Vulnerabilities in the IoT and Edge computing.
- Wireless and Mobile Security in the IoT and edge computing.
- Access control policies to prevent cyber threats in the IoT and edge computing.
- Sensor network security in the IoT and edge computing.
- User authentication and authorization in the IoT and edge computing.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
