Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various aspects of the security of wireless communications are extremely important for the successful operation and widespread adoption of modern information technologies. Wireless communications have special requirements and vulnerabilities, and therefore are of special concern. In particular, wireless networks are vulnerable to malicious attacks and the number of potential threats has been increasing dramatically. Recently, considerable novel challenges have emerged in view of the rapid growth of advanced applications of wireless communications in commercial and industrial domains embracing Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things. In order to overcome these challenges, it is vitally important to develop a range of novel approaches as well as sophisticated combinations of useful and efficient security techniques. Relevant security measures include data encryption and device and user authentication. Privacy-preserving data mining is also essential for secure analysis of the big data pertaining to wireless communications,
The main aim of this Special Issue is to encourage submissions proposing novel solutions strengthening the security of wireless communications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Authentication;
- Cryptosystems;
- Data privacy;
- Homomorphic encryption;
- Lightweight cryptography;
- Privacy-preserving data mining;
- RFID security;
- Wireless sensor networks.

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).
