Intelligent Cybersecurity, Network Security and Privacy-Preserving Technologies for Modern Computing Systems -------- [Special Issue - ICNSP ]
Aims and Scope This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in intelligent cybersecurity, network security, and privacy-preserving technologies for modern computing systems. The rapid expansion of cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G/6G networks, and distributed computing environments has created new opportunities as well as significant security and privacy challenges. Modern digital infrastructures require intelligent and adaptive mechanisms to protect sensitive information, secure communication, detect sophisticated cyber threats, and maintain reliable system operations. The Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research on intelligent threat detection, secure communication, privacy-preserving computing, cyber-resilient architectures, and trustworthy digital systems. Particular emphasis is placed on AI and machine learning-based cybersecurity, intrusion and malware detection, federated learning, blockchain, zero-trust security, privacy-enhancing technologies, secure cloud and edge computing, and emerging cryptographic techniques. Contributions presenting novel algorithms, security frameworks, architectures, methodologies, and practical applications that improve the confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, scalability, and resilience of modern computing systems are strongly encouraged.
