Special Issue on Risk and Security of Smart Systems

Smart systems are used currently to address social, economic, personal, and environmental issues, such as limited resources, climate change, and population ageing. For instance, they are used to address transportation, healthcare, energy, logistics, and manufacturing challenges.

There is an important increase of cyber-security incidents on smart systems because they manage highly sensitive assets using complex system structures. These systems have large attack surfaces due to the high number of interconnections. Cyber security of smart systems must address deliberate attacks from disgruntled persons, espionage, terrorists, inadvertent compromises due to user errors, equipment and network failures, and natural disasters. In addition, there is an increase of sophisticated online attacks and growth of cybercrime that exploit the privacy of the users of these systems.

The purpose of this special issue is to publish high-quality research and review articles that highlight start-of-the-art on analyzing the security and protecting smart systems.

Selected papers must contain original work that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another journal or conference. Previously published or accepted conference papers (including papers from CRiSIS 2019) must contain at least 30% new material to be considered for the special issue.

Topics of interest

We encourage the submission of high-quality contributions regarding the security and risk of smart systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to following:
*         Data anonymization for smart systems,
*         Data privacy and analytics for smart systems security,
*         Empirical methods for security of smart systems,
*         Forensics of smart systems security.
*         Intrusion and malware detection/prevention technologies for smart systems
*         Models for risk identification and assessment in smart systems
*         New emerging technologies for risk and security management of smart system
*         Risk-aware access control for smart systems,
*         Risks metrics for smart systems,
*         Secure development of smart systems,
*         Security architectures for smart systems
*         Security models and security policies for smart systems,
*         Threat models and attack strategies for smart systems
