Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the rapid progression in the IoT paradigm, several domains, such as healthcare, autonomous driving, industrial systems, smart cities, and smart homes, have emerged as smart environments. Smart environments aim to provide intelligent services toward creating a comfortable life for individuals. This widespread use of IoT applications has created numerous security and privacy challenges that can be exploited by cyber-attackers, adversaries, and untrusted third parties. This practice causes substantial economic losses to the abovementioned domains and puts in danger the lives of individuals or users.
Driven by rapidly evolving security and privacy challenges, everyone from IoT device manufacturers to information technology (IT) staff and from hardware engineers to cloud management entities need to provide innovative security, and privacy solutions to address the ever-increasing attack surface. In addition, security specialists need to present clear and meaningful insights about the important and valid arguments for risk assessment, threat management, and attack rectification in present IoT-empowered applications.
This Special Issue on “Security and Privacy in IoT-Enabled Smart Environments” addresses IoT-enabled smart environments' security and privacy challenges. Special emphasis is on the IoT system's infrastructure, including networking, protocols, applications, and data manipulations. In addition, the Special Issue provides up-to-date research findings that cover both security and privacy challenges and mitigation approaches for protecting individuals’ information and privacy. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Security, privacy, ethics, and legal frameworks;
- Risk assessment and mitigation in the IoT domain;
- Innovative security solutions for IoT infrastructures;
- Privacy-preserving in IoT-based applications;
- Blockchain-driven green and decentralized domains;
- Secure and private frameworks and protocols for the IoT;
- Machine-learning-based security and privacy solutions;
- Blockchain technologies for reliable and trustworthy computing;
- Biometric modalities for individuals’ authentication in the IoT;
- Security perimeters for resource-constrained IoT devices;
- Device authentication and device identity management.
