Call for Papers
Special Issue on Trends in Cybersecurity, JISA, Elsevier - Extended Submission Due Date
*SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to Dec. 11, 2020*
About
The goal of this special issue is to spur research and fuel the dissemination of the latest technologies, solutions, case studies, and prototypes regarding all aspects of cybersecurity, either human or technology centered. Only high-quality articles describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Authors of excellent conference papers may also submit extended and significantly revised versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication. Such revised versions should explicitly cite the conference paper and clearly pinpoint the additional contributions and changes vis-a-vis to the conference paper. Overall, such a submission should contain at least 50% new material, including extensions to the original proposal and additional results.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Unconventional cybersecurity, including moving target defense, cyber deception, and side-channel analysis.
- Anti-democracy attacks and cyber influencing, including fake news, cyber-meddling, astroturfing, and infodemic campaigns.
- Advanced persistent threats
- Social engineering and human hacking
- Unconventional penetration testing tactics and techniques
- Game theory in aid of cybersecurity
- Malware, including ransomware
- Adversarial machine learning, including deepfake
- Advances in critical infrastructure security
- Usable security and human-centric cybersecurity solutions
- Internet measurements in aid of security
- Botnets, including social bots
- Cyber analytics and cyber threat intelligence
- Cyber-physical system security
- Cybersecurity metrics and assessment
- Cryptography for cybersecurity
- Cyber risk management
- Interdisciplinary research topics on cybersecurity
