Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing popularity and development of cloud computing, big data, and internet of things (IoT) technologies have rendered security a predominant topic of research. In the era characterised by digital connectivity and big data, it is crucial to process, manage, and use shared data effectively in a secure manner. Because IoT devices generate data, more smart objects and IoT applications mean more security challenges. Big data is processed, stored, and shared on cloud computing platforms. Cloud computing provides various elastic and scalable IT services, while also presenting privacy and security problems. Service models such as SaaS and PaaS require security at different levels of service. Additionally, modern cloud technologies based on distributed serverless architectures and ephemeral assets such as FaaS make security even more important. This Special Issue focuses on novel research addressing security issues in three main areas: cloud computing, big data, and the internet of things, from the perspectives of theoretical models and mechanisms, technology, and applications. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
- Data security;
- Data encryption;
- Data leakage
- Cloud protection;
- Virtualization;
- Broken authentication;
- IoT secure communication;
- Secure lifecycle management.
