Special Issue "Selected Papers from the International Conference on Cyber Security, Privacy and Networking (ICSPN-2022)"

Dear Colleagues,

Today, the Internet has become of increasing important to current society as most of the traditional services are governed by the Internet. In other words, cyber security and privacy are essential needs for modern society where information technology and services pervade every aspect of our lives.  Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide a premier international platform for wide range of professions including scholars, researchers, academicians and industry to discuss and present the most recent challenges and developments in cyber security, privacy and networking from the perspective of providing security awareness and its best practices for the real world. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will seek to continue the efforts to understand the novel techniques that lead to future improvements in this domain. In addition, an extended version of International Conference on Cyber Security, Privacy and Networking (ICSPN 2022) which is going to be organized during 9–11 September 2022 in Thailand will also be considered to be published in this Special Issue.
