[DMANET] CFP: Special Issue "Emerging Techniques for Cryptography"

Dear Colleagues,

Find below an open call for papers for a special issue on Emerging Techniques for Cryptography.
A special issue of Information (ISSN 2078-2489). This special issue belongs to the section "Information Theory and Methodology".

Introduction:
Cryptography forms the underlying basis for many security solutions in today's computer systems and networks, securing data while it is being stored, transferred, and processed. With the fast-paced development of emerging technologies with new functionalities, emerging techniques for cryptography are also needed in order to secure those new functionalities. As security and privacy problems increase in real-world applications with emerging threats, new and innovative cryptography solutions are needed in order to ensure our computer systems and networks are protected.

This Special Issue will specifically focus on new and innovative cryptography solutions aiming to address emerging threats and existing threats in more efficient manner. The particular topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Foundational theory and mathematics for emerging computer systems and networks
- Provable security of emerging techniques for cryptography
- The proposal and analysis of cryptographic primitives for emerging computer systems and networks
- Cryptanalytic attacks on emerging computer systems and networks
- Cryptographic applications in cloud computing and IoT


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 (https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=information). Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1000 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.

The guest editors of the special issue are:
Dr. Julian Jang-Jaccard, School of Natural and Computational Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North, 4442, New Zealand.
Dr. Jin Hong, Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 6009 Perth, Australia.
