Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile networks are two of the key technologies that simultaneously advance the industry progress and boom the potential growth of economics. With the integration of the two technology areas, the communications not only reach much wider areas, but also boom new applications and business opportunities; however, it also incurs more security threats and the infected potentials of the connected systems.
IoT technologies have been widely applied in agriculture areas, vehicles, factories, communications, transportation, armies, critical intra-structures, etc. The advancement of mobile systems (such as 4G, 5G, 6G, Starlink, etc.) cover much wider areas and the transmissions are much more efficient. However, the integration of these systems involves more diversities in technologies and in devices. Some of them are powerful systems with some enforced protections while others being weaker components with obvious vulnerabilities. To enhance the security protection of the system and deter possible threats, it needs diverse security mechanisms and the orchestration of the various security mechanisms. Therefore, this Special Issue aims at inviting all security solutions that could tackle some security issues in the integrated systems.
Some security mechanisms and topics are listed as follows. IoT authentication, intrusion detection, machine learning, block chains, mobile system infra-structures and integration, inverse engineering, Over-the-Air activation, etc.
In this regard, we need both the specific security solutions for each specific application/sub-system and the integration/framework that federate the various security functions.
Original contributions, not currently under review to another journal or conference, are solicited for this Special Issue. We hope to attract a diverse group of researchers, academics, designers, and others to discuss these issues from a broad range of perspectives. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mobile systems with security and privacy considerations;
- IoT systems with security and privacy considerations;
- Big data analytics tools and techniques in mobile systems/5G/IoT security;
- Big data analytics for mobile systems/5G/IoT security;
- Lightweight cryptographic algorithms and protocols;
- Wireless virtualization and slicing security;
- Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) for mobile system security;
- Secure integration of IoT/mobile systems/5G;
- Security and privacy in cloud/fog/edge computing;
- Secure device-to-device communications;
- Over-the-Air activation;
- Intrusion detection/prevention techniques for mobile systems/5G/IoT;
- Cross-layer/cross-domain/cross-service security in mobile systems/5G/IoT;
- Blockchain-based service and applications for mobile systems/5G/IoT;
- Secure data storage, communications, and computing;
- Heterogeneous system modeling for 5G security;
- Secure sensing and computing techniques in 5G;
- Machine learning applied in IoT systems or mobile systems;
- Trust models and trust handling for federating 5G-IoT security.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
