Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, great progress has been made in the Internet of Things (IoT), leading to its usage in many new fields such as smart cities, healthcare, intelligent transportation, electronics, and environmental monitoring. This is an important change because smart devices are beginning to rely heavily on a range of sensing and network communication systems. However, this dependence also makes IoT platforms vulnerable to a large number of network security threats. Some security issues can only be prevented or mitigated by targeted resistance programs. Moreover, the application of technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cryptography, has brought about an all-round security improvement in IoT platforms.

Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for researchers in academia and industry to introduce their research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of IoT safety-related programs through the design of different safety systems, improvement of the existing schemes, and discussion of the problems. Investigators in the field are invited to contribute with their original, unpublished works. Both research and review papers are welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Privacy protocol for IoT systems;
Scheme and architecture design to improve security in IoT systems;
AI for IoT security;
Blockchain for IoT security;
Cryptography for IoT security;
Edge computing for IoT security;
Network virtualization for IoT security;
Theories and models for detection and analysis of persistent threats;
Existing attacks and damages in IoT systems;
Emerging trends for IoT security;
Intelligent security system architecture for IoT;
Secure network intelligence for IoT;
Mobile security in IoT.

The deadline is 31 December 2020.
