Information SI 2020 : Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things

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 Investigators in the field are invited to contribute with their original, unpublished works.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.
