Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern architectures and systems are changing our activities of daily life and various industrial processes due to increased automation in various areas. 5G/6G, Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Drones (IoD), Internet of Everything (IoE), and other emerging communication technologies facilitate the development of various smart places and modern communications. Thanks to smart communication environments, many important applications have been developed, including healthcare, electricity grids, satellite communication, underwater communication, and vehicular networks, among others. However, problems have arisen related to data security and user privacy during the communication in these systems; secure and efficient authentication, authorization, and accounting mechanisms are required to address them. Existing cryptographic methods are still constrained in terms of processing and communication ability. Moreover, there may be a trade-off consideration between privacy and authentication, or between security and performance found in various previously published works. As a matter of fact, there is a lack of sufficient research that efficiently addresses these concerns. This Special Issue calls for research papers, communications, and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Secure and anonymous designs for smart systems.
- New designs of cryptographic tool and protocol.
- New authentication schemes.
- Novel authorization methods.
- Innovative accounting tools.
- Applied cryptography.
- Post-quantum cryptography.
- Lightweight cryptography.
- Cryptographic verification solutions.
- Smart identification mechanisms.
- New digital-signature-based smart communication systems.
- Smart digital-certificate-based communication schemes.

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. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are 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. Cryptography is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
