Scope

The Security, Privacy, and Authentication section of the Frontiers in Communications and Networks Journal focuses on original research and practice-driven applications with relevance to security, privacy, and authentication of communication and network systems.

The goal is to provide a common linkage among a vibrant scientific and research community and industry professionals and practitioners by offering a rigorous view (through formal or experimental approaches) on modern problems and challenges in the vast area of communications and network security, as well as identifying promising scientific and ‘best-practice’ solutions.

Our Mission is to provide a forum for ideas about the foundations, applications, and innovations of security, privacy and authentication. We will particularly focus on those high impact, anticipated innovation, and relevant follow-up for practitioner, industry, and academia. In particular F-SAP seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research results in all practical and theoretical aspects of communications and network security.

All topic areas related to communications and network security are of interest and in scope. Such topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

●        Distributed and Pervasive Systems security

●       Cloud, Edge/Fog computing security

●        Wireless Systems security

●        Virtualization Security

●        ML and AI

●        Intrusion detection and tolerance

●        authentication and authorization of users, systems, and applications

●        Network technologies

●        Cryptography (Foundations, Protocols, and Applications)

●        Availability, performability, and survivability

●        Intrusion tolerance; attack models

●        Operating System Security

●        Dependable, Secure Protocols

●        Ad Hoc and DTN Networks

●        Pervasive, Embedded and Wearable Computing

●        Satellite Security

●        Cyber-Physical Systems security

●        Industrial Systems Security

●        Digital forensics

●        Human factors in security

Submissions in all formats/styles including original research, perspective/vision papers, tutorials/surveys (review), magazines (mini review), letters (brief research report), as well as replies and comments are encouraged.

Any papers relating to these subjects in the context of computing systems should be submitted to  Frontiers in Computer Science .
