Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the digital era, enhancing network security and ensuring data reliability are crucial. The concept of symmetry, fundamental in both mathematics and the natural sciences, plays a pivotal role in understanding and designing resilient network systems. In this Special Issue, we explore how the principles of symmetry and graph theory converge to fortify network security and reliability. This Special Issue invites original research that harnesses symmetric properties in graphs to develop robust security architectures and reliable data transmission frameworks. This Special Issue will focus on submissions that demonstrate clear applications of graph theory to real-world problems, providing novel insights in network security and reliability.
