Overview
A smart city is a newly developed concept, referring to an urban area using different kinds of electronic sensors to collect data and supply information, including data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analysed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, waste management, hospitals, etc. It integrates information and communication technology (ICT), various physical devices, and citizen services. Nowadays, devices in a smart city are not limited to static sensors anymore, but also include any personal wearable devices like mobile phones, smart watch, smart glasses, etc.
These connection technologies greatly improve the quality of people’s daily life, but also expose the whole network to cyber-attackers. As there are various kinds of devices within a smart city, there is a strong need to develop appropriate mechanisms to protect the security and privacy for smart cities.
This special issue intends to gather cutting-edge results on security and privacy issues for smart cities. The aim is to promote research in the domain of smart cities, including design methods, crypto and post-quantum, intrusion detection and prevention.
In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to
- Post-quantum security for smart cities
- Secure design for smart cities
- Side-channel analysis for the security and privacy of smart cities
- Security analysis for smart cities
