Dear Colleagues,
Our current digital landscape has made information security and privacy crucial. In a world where data breaches and cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, safeguarding sensitive information has become paramount for organizations and individuals. This Special Issue delves into the multifaceted challenges and innovative information security and privacy solutions for various information systems, including wireless networks, machine learning, smart grids, and social graphs.
Ensuring that information systems are secure, reliable, and private is essential. Information-theoretic measures offer a powerful framework to address these challenges, providing insights that quantify these essential qualities and rigorously evaluate and guarantee their integrity. This approach illuminates the path to building more trustworthy and resilient information systems across various domains.
We invite previously unpublished contributions at the intersection of information theory, networks, wireless communications, and data privacy, including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Theoretical foundations of information-theoretic privacy;
- Privacy-preserving distributed/federated learning
- The design of privacy mechanisms for big data analytics (including healthcare and social networks);
- Performance evaluations of privacy-preserving mechanisms;
- Privacy-preserving data publishing;
- Energy-efficient physical-layer security;
- The integration of differential privacy and physical-layer security;
- Cryptographic protocols for differential privacy;
- Private information retrieval;
- Privacy-preserving distributed computing.
